Make Calls to Fix the Worst Budget Ever
Budget negotiations have stalled as Republicans squabble over how many ways they can attack working families and roll back public services in Wisconsin. You can be sure that lawmakers are hearing from big-time lobbyists and special interests during this time. Now, it is time for lawmakers to hear from real Wisconsinites and get YOUR thoughts on the budget.
The Wisconsin AFL-CIO will be hosting phone banks to help connect union members with their elected representatives. Sign up now to connect voters to their legislators and make sure they know that Wisconsinites oppose this budget.
Working people are sounding the alarm against cuts to public schools, attacks on prevailing wage, the federalization of Wisconsin’ Family and Medical Leave protections, the privatization of homecare, destruction of the ideals that the UW-System was built on, job cuts at prisons and cuts to public services such as recycling and public broadcasting.
Phone banks will be open in Eau Claire, Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee and Wausau and Wisconsin Rapids. Come and help educate and motivate others to speak out about Gov. Walker’s bad budget.
