Portland Frog

Inspired by the inflatable frog costume first worn by Seth Todd at a protest outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland, Oregon on October 2, 2025. Todd's appearance there, dancing in front of the heavily armed officers, led to the creation of the Portland Frog Brigade.

"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."

"We are all volunteers. Most of us are working artists and regular workers - high school art teachers, full-time artists, therapists, forestry workers, gig workers, graphic designers, and self-employed creatives."
