Right to Work is Wrong for Wisconsin: The Wreck of the Walker Fitzgerald (pic report from 2/25/15) [View all]

Tuesday and Wednesday marked new protests in Madison, Wisconsin as the Republican-controlled state government rammed Right-to-Work (for less) legislation down our throats.

Many unions were represented here this week, and the crowd numbers, while far below those of the 2011 protests, were still significant.







Songs were sung, prayers were led, speeches were given, and there were calls for a general strike.







We got support from our brothers south of the border, despite them having their own problems.



As always, Wisconsinites showed both creativity and political awareness in making protest signs.
