Solidarity with Wisconsin - Raleigh NC Tomorrow
FROM MOVEON.ORG

Have you seen what's happening in Wisconsin?

Teachers, nurses, students and firefighters have occupied the state capitol building for the past week. On Saturday, 70,000 Wisconsinites took to the streets of Madison to protest their tea party governor's radical attack on public workers.

Wisconsin has become the national rallying point in the fight that will decide whether our economy works for all Americans, or just the super-rich. Republicans are using budget deficits as an excuse to attack workers, cut funding for crucial public services, and threaten successful programs like Social Security.
With the groundswell in Madison, we have our best opportunity yet to stand up to the radical Republicans who think we can cut our way to prosperity. Dozens of progressive organizations are organizing solidarity rallies this week in cities across the country, including one tomorrow in Raleigh.

Can you come out tomorrow to make clear that we'll fight back as a national movement, not just state by state? The rally is at 1 East Edenton Street, in Raleigh. It starts at 12:00 PM tomorrow.

Sign up to attend the rally

11 other states are considering similar bills. And in nearly every state, politicians are using budget shortfalls—caused by a Wall Street-driven recession—as a justification for cutting necessary public services.

So let's get out there tomorrow and show our solidarity. Can you join us at 12:00 PM in Raleigh?

Thanks for all you do.

–Daniel, Tim, Joan, Eli, and the rest of the team
