The Voice Project: Three years of #WisconsinSolidarity

cross-posting

It is with such gratitude that I share this link to The Voice Project. We were approached by The Voice Project several weeks ago, asking how they could help us here in Wisconsin. They wanted to find a way to amplify our voices, and to let people know about the hundreds of arrests, the hundreds of ongoing court cases, and to let people know that after three years of singing, we're still here!

So, today, on the three-year anniversary of the birth of the Solidarity Sing Along, they honored us with a video and a petition to appeal to Wisconsin State Attorney General Van Hollen to drop the charges against people who were arrested for exercising the First and Fourth Amendment rights in our State Capitol.

Please watch the video, sign the petition, and if you are able, please go to

http://FirstAmendmentFund.org to donate to help to defray the court costs for the hundreds of citizens who are still facing trial for the "crime" of singing.

Thank you, and Solidarity.
