From a WI AFL-CIO Jan. 31, 2012 email:

The Wisconsin State AFL-CIO and community partners are fueling up The Recall Express and hitting the road to talk with Wisconsinites across the state about the local effect of Gov. Walker’s disastrous agenda.

The “Reclaim Wisconsin Tour” will discuss the impact of Gov. Walker’s policies on working people including the loss of family-sustaining jobs, the loss of employment protections and benefits, the continual transfer of wealth to Wisconsin’s 1% and the hammering of quality public services and education.  The Tour will be making stops in Milwaukee, La Crosse, Wausau, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Racine and Madison (see schedule below for dates).

MARK YOUR CALENDARS:  The “Reclaim Wisconsin” Tour will culminate with statewide candlelight vigils on March 9 and a “Reclaim Wisconsin March” in Madison on Saturday, March 10.  These events will mark the one year anniversary of when Gov. Walker and Senate Republicans rammed through the collective bargaining bill illegally in the dead of night.

Milwaukee Feb. 6: “Take Back City Hall” / The People To Scott Walker & Tom Barrett: Declare A State of Emergency!

http://www.facebook.com/events/110000272455177/

Why: To hold our elected officials accountable for this social & economic crisis in the city of Milwaukee.

From the north, south, east and west side of Milwaukee, we have experienced the misrepresentation and exploitation of deprived inner-city conditions. Time and time again, we have watched our elected officials tell us lies and sell us out to the highest bid. Milwaukee is one of the worst cities in America in poverty, education, employment, housing, community re-development, and even human & civil rights. It’s time we “Take Back City Hall” and give it back to the people!

ISSUES:
– poverty
– unemployment
– adequate housing
– adequate public education
– adequate city transit
– transparency
– human/civil federal guidelines

DEMANDS:
– Audits on Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
– City Wide Moratorium

Members of Occupy The Hood and supporters picket the Milwaukee Metropolitian Association of Commerce, Jan. 12, 2012.
