The Art of Peaceful Creative Dissent
The Portland Frog Brigade uses inflatable animal costumes to practice the proven art of peaceful, creative dissent, exercising our right to free expression in defense of the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.
Our Resistance Assistance program provides direct material support and services to organizations working to advance democracy, justice, and human dignity.
There are many paths into resistance. Ours uses spectacle and humor with intent: to build community, generate joy, and pierce the aura of authoritarian power, cutting through the fear it depends on, and exposing the hollowness beneath its claims of omnipotence. Most importantly, Frogs always remain peaceful.
If this is how you’d like to participate in the resistance, come Frog with us!

Our Mission
The Portland Frog Brigade is a nonviolent art-activist collective that models and advocates for peaceful creative dissent. Through play, spectacle, and humor, we speak truth to power, undermine fear-based narratives, and amplify the work of resistance organizations by providing them direct material support, practical services, and visible solidarity in defense of democracy and human dignity.
