The sound of honks becomes a chorus of support over Highway 580 during Thursday rush hour. Motivated by recent actions from the Trump administration, especially around immigration enforcement, protests gather weekly on Bay Area overpasses to make their message visible to thousands of commuters. Occurring in tandem with similar actions being taken up across the country, these protests have grown in frequency and size, building small communities of resistance along the way.
