Members of the media team for We Rise Fighting! Labor Podcast will be joining a diverse array of UAW members on strike and their supporters for a Solidarity Day in Racine, Wisconsin Saturday, December 17.

A 2 P.M. rally at 3323 Kearney Avenue in Racine, followed by vehicle caravans to the UAW 180 picket lines at CNHi (Case Holland) will take place December 17. About 1,100 members of UAW Locals 180 and 807 have been on strike against the multi-billion dollar corporations for seven months.

Momentum is growing for the Solidarity Day in Racine. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine tweeted out the December 17 flyer to his almost 1 million followers, the Wisconsin AFL-CIO sent out a statewide email and is sharing the information on its social media, labor federations and unions in many cities or regions in Wisconsin are sharing the information and a variety of community and faith-based organizations are also helping to organize.
