Steve's business, Glacier State Distribution Services, happens to own a few railcars. They were getting rusty, and in need of fresh paint. Worried that energy of "the movement" was getting diffused, Steve thought it would be cool to use a rail car as a traveling poster. Since they need painting anyway, why not paint them with beautiful blue agitprop messages of solidarity, making them a moving billboard?

When Steve approached local AFL-CIO leaders, they loved the idea. They eagerly allowed use of their fist logo and even offered volunteer help. Steve gathered up some paint and stencils, the union guys got some skilled workers, and they've been working in the Kenosha rail yard for the last week on the project. The Solidarity Rail will be leaving the yard next Monday.
