Today, June 30, a diverse array of poor and working people came out to protest a fundraiser at the Milwaukee Athletic Club for racist Republican politicians Scott Walker and Alberta Darling. The people demanded living wage jobs now, the overturning of the illegal union-busting bill, taxing of the rich, a moratorium on foreclosures & evictions and that the banks, corporations and the Pentagon should pay for the economic crisis among other demands.
Living wage JOBS now!
Save the date!

Hundreds protest the signing of the state budget in Green Bay June 27
Hundreds came out to denounce and protest the signing of Wisconsin’s 2011-13 budget by Scott Walker June 27 in Green Bay.The $66 billion two-year budget slashes funding for public schools, the University of Wisconsin System and local governments, expand taxpayer support for private voucher schools and cut taxes for corporations and banks. “This budget will result in a major loss to the quality of life for the people of Wisconsin by crippling economic support systems for middle income and working class families,” said Phil Neuenfeldt, President of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO in a June 26 statement. “We are seeing the deepest cuts to education, health care and local communities ever passed in state history, at a time when we should be investing in our state and its people.” Protests and resistance across the state continue to oppose the attempted union-busting and anti-people attacks by Walker and his banking, corporate and Pentagon backers.
