The People Hold Their House


This is a cross-post from the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO.

In a huge victory for Wisconsinites, those fighting to save the middle class will remain inside the Capitol tonight. At 4 p.m. the governor and Republican senators wanted the building cleared of all citizens in order to resume normal operating hours.

The deadline came and went. It soon became clear that those fighting for rights would hold their Capitol for another sleep. Community members and working families are spending the night in what is becoming known as “The People’s Cathedral.” Many more will gather at 8 a.m. tomorrow as the fight continues.
