Wisconsin Conference Center, 400 W Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee

From the protest organizers:

The People want to share OUR VOICE at the Governor’s Conference also…
OCCUPY Milwaukee, Move To Amend of SE Wisconsin, and local Activists see all too clearly Anti-Women, Anti-Worker, and Racist legislation being implemented by current GOP governors. The fact that Scott Walker, (now Chairman of the National Governors Association), is hosting this year’s Governors Conference gives evidence to the direction that they want to see the USA devolve.
This we protest. More Power to the People!
