Keep The Attendance Up at the State Capitol

Today is the last day that AFSCME is planning to run buses into Madison, for the moment, from around the state. However, we urge everyone not to relent on their pressure of the Wisconsin Majority to work with public employees as well as private sector employees and supportive citizens of Wisconsin to bring about a compromise.

Yesterday's crowd at the capitol was estimated by the Capitol Police at approximately 5,000. That is a good size crowd considering the weather of Sunday and Monday that plagued most of the state.

If you cannot make it to the capitol then keep reaching out to your legislators on a daily basis via phone and email. Use the SEPAC Action Center to be linked directly with your legislator or to locate a phone number. When calling, the easiest way would be to use the AFSCME TOLL-FREE hotline at 1-877-753-5578. When calling that number you will hear a message from your Union and then be asked to enter your zip code and then connected automatically to your legislator.
