Madison, November 10: Storm the Capital. Make Trump Hear Our Voices.

First, we must start by recognizing that we are on Ho Chunk Land.

We will be meeting on Thursday, November 10, at 7pm at the top of Bascom hill to march to the Capitol steps. In between, there will be stops allowing campus and community leaders to speak about issues covered during the Trump’s campaign and call out for the rights of marginalized communities both in Wisconsin and this country to be upheld regardless of the next four years. Resources and power have to be shifted to create the changes we seek behind the following issues:

-Black Lives Matter
-Sexual Assault
-Female Reproductive Rights
-Transgender and LGBTQ+ Rights
-Immigration Policy
-Environmental Protection
-Wealth Inequity

Our fight is not just limited to the issues listed. In order for us to solve these inequities, we have to first acknowledge that they exist; then, we have to see the intersectionality of our oppressions. Finally, we must shift resources and power to create the changes we seek by focusing on poor, black and brown people. We also need to be recognizing that there are campus and community organizations that have been fighting for these issues long before this election. After this rally, get involved with them. That’s one way to make real change.
