Solidarity Rallies Set in 50 States Tomorrow?Support Your Wisconsin Brothers and Sisters

By Mike Hall

In 50 state capitols tomorrow, workers and activists from faith, civil rights and other communities will rally in solidarity for Wisconsin public service workers who are engaged in a historic struggle to keep their right to bargain for middle-class jobs.

Led by MoveOn.org, union leaders and other activists are moblizing members to join these ?Save the American Dream? rallies. You can find details about a rally near you by clicking here. Click here for a list of union-sponsored rallies in the upcoming days following tomorrow?s national actions.

While the action in Wisconsin is drawing most of the attention, this attack on middle-class jobs and workers by politicians and the CEOs who financed their campaigns is being waged in Ohio, Indiana and more than a dozen states.

Tomorrow, take some time and join the tens of thousands of us who are set to tell Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), their Republican colleagues and CEO friends that they have gone too far.
