Friday June 3
SAVE OUR BEER RALLY!
Friday, June 3 · 5:00pm – 8:00pm
Steps of the Capitol- State Street Side -> Happy Hour March down State St.
Miller/Coors, and other large beer companies have inserted language into the state budget bill that severely restricts the ability of small, local breweries like New Glarus to continue operating in Wisconsin!
The Wisconsin Positive Business Alliance (WPBA) is standing up to this latest assault on our way of life by organizing a rally and march to Save our Beer!
5pm- Meetup at the Capitol to hear from small brewery owners about how this will affect their business
5:30pm- We will be visiting state street bars to ask them to put a bag over their Miller taps for the night in protest of this injustice
Wear red to show your Wisconsin pride!

CIVIL RIGHTS MARCH & RALLY TO SUPPORT PUBLIC EDUCATION & INSTATE TUITION RIGHTS!
Voces de la Frontera Action and allied organizations will be sponsoring a civil rights march and rally to condemn Governor Walker’s proposed budget which robs our children of their basic civil rights and jeopardizes the future of our communities, our city and our state. All children have the right to schools that offer art, physical education, music, library, school nurses, a kindergarten program, school buses, and reasonable class sizes.
All children raised in WI deserve in-state tuition at public universities and technical colleges, including immigrant students!
Parents, teachers, students & community members: Defend your children’s right to public education!
