The Chicago Light Brigade

The Chicago Light Brigade CLB is a network of direct action oriented activists who work to address community issues through creative protest tactics and mutual aid.

We are part of the international network of autonomous Light Brigades that began with the creation of the original Overpass Light Brigade in Wisconsin during the winter of 2011. The Chicago Light Brigade is based in Rogers Park, on the North Side of Chicago, but our members, supporters, and allies reside in neighborhoods throughout the city. We are an inclusive, nonviolent organization that focuse

s on creative tactics, some of which involve the use of light projection and our signature LED light banners. We seek to shine a light on political, social, and economic injustice wrought by corporate dominance, the privatization of public resources, and the oppression of marginalized communities.
