Students at UW-Milwaukee rallied at Spaights Plaza on campus before taking it to the streets marching on main streets near campus. During the march the Milwaukee police assaulted the march and participants arresting two students and a photojournalist from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. All three have been released with various municipal citations. The struggle continues! Education Is A Human Right Not A Privilege!

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 866-279-6269. You can also e-mail Pick ‘n Save here.
In Solidarity,
Phil Neuenfeldt, President
Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer
