Our January 2026 NH Bridge Brigade newsletter starts with a renewed commitment from our leadership team to our cause and our democracy.  It reviews our first Caravans for Democracy and December Bridge Brigades, love letters from our members, and some new content on our website.  Find out how to help us name the newsletter, learn about our supportive partners, and get ready for all the upcoming events including our 2nd in person breakfast potluck!  Also included are ways to become a part of our events team and other volunteer opportunities, as well as ways to share your thoughts and feedback.

This month’s NH Bridge Brigade newsletter shares Bridgley the Bridge Gorilla’s origin story, celebrates our first breakfast gathering and a fierce, freezing Veterans Day bridge action, and launches new ways to show up — from cornflower-blue Bridgley T-shirts to our first Caravans for Democracy and the final 2025 statewide bridge day. It also offers guidance on sharing bridge space with other groups, calls for volunteers, and points you to our safety guidelines, Slack community, and photo-sharing channels.

This inaugural issue announces the Brigade’s transformation into an official 501(c)(4), celebrates the huge success of the “No Kings” protest across 25 bridges, and introduces the new website, statewide protest calendar, and early fundraising efforts. It also welcomes readers into a new era of communication through Slack, highlights the growing network of Bridge Captains, shares safety updates, and invites volunteers to help shape the movement’s next chapter.
