About wibailoutpeople

We are a part of the national Bail Out The People movement which formed in 2008 to fight against the bailouts to the banks. Since then we have been in numerous fights against poverty, racism and war. We demand that the people be bailed out not the banks, a moratorium on all foreclosures, a federal jobs program now and other demands. We have been participating in the Wisconsin people's uprising, Bloombergville in NYC and numerous other people's actions.

From the WI AFL-CIO: ‘The Shepherd Express Needs Your Help!’

An Email Message From The WI AFL-CIO:

Brothers and Sisters,

Many of you regularly read Milwaukee’s independent news source, The Shepherd Express.  You may be use to picking up your free copy of the Shepherd Express at your local grocery store.

If you are one of the estimated 192,000 Shepherd Express readers who shops at Roundy’s grocery stores you will no longer be able to pick up the free paper while you pick up your groceries.

Call Roundy’s at 866-279-6269 and tell them to keep the Shepherd Express in their stores.   You can send an e-mail to Pick ‘n Save using this form.

On Wednesday, March 30, within hours of the Shepherd Express’ endorsement of JoAnne Kloppenburg for Wisconsin Supreme Court, Roundy’s emailed the Shepherd and told them to remove their newspapers from five Brookfield stores. The Shepherd has now been told to remove their papers from all other remaining stores.

This is a freedom of speech and a freedom of the press issue.  Roundy’s shoppers deserve the right to pick up the free, independent publication at their local grocery store.

The Shepherd Express has been in all of Roundy’s grocery stores, both Pick ‘n Save and Metro Market, for the past 10 years.  The Shepherd Express is currently available at more than 1,100 locations, including virtually every supermarket in the five-county Milwaukee metropolitan region.

Call Roundy’s and let them know that you want the Shepherd Express to remain in their stores!  Their customer service number is 866-279-6269You can also e-mail Pick ‘n Save here

In Solidarity,
Phil Neuenfeldt, President
Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer
