NYC: URGENT Solidarity Demo w/ Wisconsin Workers & Students: FRI 4:30 @ Stock Exchange, Wall St.

SOLIDARITY RALLY WITH THE WORKERS & STUDENTS OF WISCONSIN Thousands of Wisconsin public workers, students and teachers have been occupying the state Capitol for four days. In Capitol Square 50,000 workers have protested Gov. Scott Walker’s attempt to enact legislation ("Budget Repair Bill") that would wipe out the right of public workers to have a union, and would make collective bargaining illegal.  Across Wisconsin schools and universities have been shut down by teachers, students and communities defending their right to education. Wisconsin workers and students are standing up for the rights of workers everywhere.  They have done this despite threats by the Governor to call in the National Guard. Shouting “Power to the People” as of Thursday, Feb. 17 the alliance of workers and students were carrying out a 'People’s Filibuster' in the capitol occupying every inch of the building.   The Capitol is the property of the people of Wisconsin and is supposed to function for the good and welfare of the people. When it is used to wage war against their lives, the people have the legal and moral right to take it back into their own hands. The National Guard is supposed to help with floods and disasters, not to move against their sisters and brothers. We must stand with them to demand. KILL GOV. WALKERS BILL – NO UNION BUSTINGNO NATIONAL GUARD OR POLICECANCEL INTEREST PAYMENTS TO THE BANKS – THE REAL CAUSE OF DEFICITS
EDUCATION & UNION JOBS ARE A RIGHT
