solidarity
with Wisconsin

RSVP
Republican elected officials across the country are using the pretext of a budget crisis to push through an extremist agenda that does nothing to fix our economy. You can see this in Madison, Wisconsin and you can see it in Washington, DC.
For too long, conservatives have dominated the debate over the economy. But now they've gone too far. And progressives need to stand up together and say "Enough!"
That is why this Saturday we're joining with our friends at MoveOn and dozens of progressive organizations in one massive, nationwide display of progressive solidarity for Wisconsin.
We've joined with allies across the country to organize rallies in major cities — including every state capital — this Saturday at noon.
We'll speak out to demand an end to the attacks on public services and workers' rights across the country. We'll demand investment to create decent jobs. And we'll demand that the rich and powerful pay their fair share.
It's up to us to make sure the amazing energy in Wisconsin spreads to the rest of the country, so that those who claim we can cut our way out of the economic mess created by Wall Street don't win the day.
But to make that happen, progressives around the country need to stand up right away and speak out against the far-right attacks on public services and workers.
Republicans are launching Wisconsin-style attacks on workers in other states. And in Washington, Republicans are threatening to shut the government down next week unless Democrats agree to massive cuts to everything from NPR to education to food aid for hungry children. This is our chance to shift the debate and put Republicans like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his tea party friends in Washington on the defensive.
We've come together with a huge coalition of progressive organizations — from the Netroots to the labor movement, environmental groups to community organizations — to back these rallies and make sure that the folks in Wisconsin know that millions of people across the country are standing with them.
