<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I heard in a Blo-No meeting last night that there are people from
Urbana-Champaign heading up to Wisconsin tomorrow (Sat.). Just wanted to check
on that - maybe we could work on central Illinois publicity when we get
back..... We have organized a car, possibly two, to head up for just the day,
coming back Saturday night.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi from Bloomington-Normal (BNCPJ)</DIV>
<DIV>I haven't seen much reporting of Wisconsin's worker revolt
on mainstream corporate media, except on MSNBC last night, but sooner
or later they won't be able to ignore it. FOX covered it yesterday,
supposedly, but in a very negative light. The Right knows that
this could spread, that workers are finally standing up to being the
scapegoats for the profit system's own failings. Even more promising, in
my view, is that a massive worker-student coalition has formed in
Wisconsin. Student Labor Action Coalition (SLAC) has been around since
1994 building these kinds of networks (when it was formed to support the
Staley lockout in Decatur, and then SLAC chapters spread all over the
country). Their work has had a major impact, I believe.</DIV>

<DIV>Here's an update from a friend in Wisconsin
---- </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Last night walker's bill cleared committee 12-4 a little before
midnight.<BR>Huge turnout today, thousands of UW students walked out at
10am, editorial of student paper had.headline: "STUDENTS, WALK
OUT!"<BR>Surely this is or will be reported in mainstream news but about
45 minutes ago Democrat senators walked out, left the capitol, breaking
quorum. Republicans called on state troopers to capture them and have them
report to session. The democrats are leaving Wisconsin, out of state
patrol authority.<BR>Cop unions bringing big boxes of bratwurst to eat.
Occupation is on!<BR>Inside capitol sit in beginning to block senate
doors.<BR>Teachers from Madison West high school tell me 1000 kids from
their school.walked out and have arrived at capitol. I'm on top floor but
presumably many people still arriving.<BR>Conor M from Milwaukee says UWM
was pretty empty this morning.<BR>Nick P in Columbus told me that
1500-3000 workers were at Ohio state house as of 11am eastern. No other
updates... Until the next unexpected crazy shit happens.<BR>Loud cheering,
dunno about what, sometimes it's random and spreads as chain
reaction.</DIV></DIV></DIV><PRE><HR width="90%" SIZE=4><DIV class=im>
