We're helping lead an emergency call for rallies
in every state capital this Saturday at noon to stand in solidarity with the workers of Wisconsin. Clicking below will add

Moments like these don't come along often.


Newly-elected Tea Party governor Scott Walker thought he could slash the Wisconsin state budget and dismantle
50 years of workers' rights without a fight, but boy was he wrong.


Hundreds of thousands of regular Wisconsinites—teachers, firefighters, police officers, students—have
taken to the streets of Madison.  They've occupied the capitol building for the last 7 days and nights.


But this isn't just about Wisconsin. In state capitals across the country, and in Washington, D.C., Republicans
are using the wrecked economy as an excuse to slash vital programs and hurt workers. The American Dream itself is under
attack.


So we're helping lead an emergency call for rallies in every state capital this Saturday at noon to support
folks in Wisconsin and oppose these attacks, wherever they occur.


We have only 4 days to organize, so we're trying something unusual—asking thousands of individuals and local
groups to add their names to this call to action. Will you share the call with your personal network—plus get any groups
you're part of to sign on? Clicking here will add your name:


Start getting
the word out about this Saturday's rallies


We're finalizing the
details and we'll get back to you to sign up soon, but we have to start spreading the word right now if Saturday is going
to be huge.


Here's the call to action:50-State Mobilization to Save the American Dream
Calling all students, teachers, union members, workers, patriots, public servants, unemployed
folks, progressives, and people of conscience:


In Wisconsin and around our country, the American Dream is under fierce attack. Instead
of creating jobs, Republicans are giving tax breaks to corporations and the very rich, and then cutting funding for education,
police, emergency response and vital human services. The right to organize is on the chopping block. The American Dream is
slipping out of reach for more and more Americans, and we have to fight back.





We call for emergency rallies in front of every statehouse this Saturday at noon to stand
in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin. Demand an end to the attacks on workers' rights and public services across the
country. Demand investment, to create decent jobs for the millions of people who desperately want to work. And demand that
the rich and powerful pay their fair share.




We are all Wisconsin.





We are all Americans.




Add your endorsement and this Saturday we will stand together to save the American
Dream.

Thanks for all you do.–Daniel, Lenore, Joan, Justin, and the rest of the team


P.S. In addition to allies like PCCC, Color of Change, CREDO Action, Democracy for America,
Campaign for Community Change, National People's Action, TrueMajority, US Action, Progressive Majority, and Courage Campaign,
green jobs visionary Van Jones has joined this call to action as well.  His inspiring words from The Huffington Post
this morning are worth quoting:




"In the past 24 months, those of us who longed for positive change have gone from hope to heartbreak. But hope is returning
to America—at last—thanks largely to the courageous stand of the heroes and heroines of Wisconsin.


Reinvigorated by the idealism and fighting spirit on display right now in America's heartland, the movement for "hope
and change" has a rare, second chance. It can renew itself and become again a national force with which to be reckoned.


Over the next hours and days, all who love this country need to do everything possible to spread the "spirit of Madison"
to all 50 states. This does not mean we need to occupy 50 state capitol buildings; things elsewhere are not yet that dire.
But this weekend, the best of America should rally on the steps of every statehouse in the union."
