“Spring Rising” is four days of creative resistance; theater, teach-ins; rallies and marches marking the anniversary of the United States’ “shock and awe” attack on Iraq and its invasion and occupation in a completely illegitimate, immoral war. Together we will use this time to oppose the plans and calls for growing military intervention.

In December 2014, after a year and a half working at Burger King for $7.25 an hour, Madison worker Keena was offered a promotion to shift manager with a pay raise to $8.50.
She agreed and took on the extra duties. Despite that, she was never given the raise she earned.
UW Schools will be holding a variety of events and demonstrations across the state in opposition to the UW System budget cuts, and some schools will likely be traveling to Madison to stage a large-scale rally in unity with other organizations.
This is a community event–EVERYBODY’S INVITED!! Please spread the word and invite your friends, co-workers, and family. Wisconsin communities everywhere need to stand up for their UW System.
