Stop FBI Attacks on activists NOW!

Stop FBI Repression against Carlos Montes!

Thursday, June 16 · 5 pm – 8 pm
Federal Courthouse 517 E. Wisconsin Ave
Milwaukee, WI
Prominent Chicano activist and immigration rights leader, Carlos Montes, is the latest target in the FBI’s campaign of repression against solidarity and justice activists. On May 17, the FBI battered down Carlos’ door and took hundreds of files, photographs, and documents from his home. The charges leveled against Carlos Montes and the other activists are unfounded, and are an attempt to criminalize dissent in the US.

The Milwaukee community will be organizing in connection with a national day of action against FBI harassment and in support of Carlos Montes. The protest will be held at 5 p.m. outside the federal courthouse. The Bail Out The People Movement calls on all milwaukee activists to stand with Carlos Montes against FBI repression. Solidarity is not a crime!

Sign the petition to Stop repression of anti-war activists!

Stop the politicians now! Shut It Down! No illegal, anti-people, racist budget! Surround the capitol!

EMERGENCY MESSAGE FROM THE
WI Bail Out the People Movement

Stop the politicians now,
SHUT IT DOWN
No illegal, anti-people, racist budget
Surround the Capitol

Why did the legislature call an “extraordinary session?”  To throw
out rules for notice, debate and amendments — close out the strong
voice of the working women and men, young and old, immigrant,
senior, Native, African-American, Latino/a and white, rural and in-
ner-city — and stampede through an anti-people, racist budget, to get
their dirty work done before the July recall elections. They want to
sneak past the working class occupations and militant mobilization
in every corner of the state that has held back their agenda for 100
days.

Now the bought and paid for Courts say the ban on public workers’
collective bargaining is okay.

Walker, the Koch Brothers, and the Bradley Foundation are not
just some bad apples in Wisconsin. Politicians, banks, corporations
and the war machine are squeezing the working class to pay for the
global capitalist crisis. They are stealing the futures of youth and
students. We have a right to stop them – no business as usual.

Walker and his buddies won’t let the people in the “peoples’ house”
— let’s build a peoples’ wall — arm in arm — around the Capitol and
tell them “you shall not pass, and neither will your budget.”

Stand Up Fight Back! Rally at state capitol Tuesday, June 14

No union-busting in Wisconsin!

A message from the WI AFL-CIO:

Brothers and Sisters,

Republicans have called an “extraordinary session” to begin tomorrow, Tuesday June 14.  The rules are different in this session.  Debate will be limited, democracy will be circumvented and the balance will greatly tip in favor of ramming through an anti-worker, anti-family, anti-community agenda.

Come bear witness to this denial of democracy.  The Assembly will open at 11:00 am, tomorrow, June 14.  Please take part in democracy and bear witness to this extreme attack on the people of Wisconsin.

Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, June 14, as we continue to stand strong against a budget that guts public schools, attacks health care, raises taxes on workers and seniors, and jeopardizes public services like police and fire.  All while handing over $300 million a year in tax breaks to the rich.

It is also expected that Scott Walker will ram through his attacks on collective bargaining and union workers into the state budget.  Click here to sign the petition to stop the attacks on Wisconsin workers.  Tell Scott Walker to take his union-busting agenda out of the state budget.

Rally at the Capitol: The People vs. Scott Walker, Tuesday, June 14
11:00 a.m. – Assembly begins debate / Marchers begin at Walkerville at the capitol
5:30 p.m. – Peoples Rally Against Walker at the Square and State St
