<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Students Stand in Solidarity with State Capitol Occupation<br>
<br>
Over fifty students and youth are currently occupying the University of
Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM) and the numbers of occupiers are still growing.<span style=""> </span>Milwaukee students are occupying UWM in
solidarity with the global resistance to capitalism that is spreading the globe
from Egypt to Madison.<br>
<br>
>From <a href="http://UWMoccupied.wordpress.com" target="_blank">UWMoccupied.wordpress.com</a>:<span style=""> </span>“We
stand in solidarity with the workers and students striking and occupying the
Wisconsin State Capitol building.<span style=""> </span>We
demand immunity for all occupiers and strikers involved in these actions.”<br>
<br>
On February 17<sup>th</sup>, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at UWM organized
over 3,000 people to demonstrate in opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s
“Budget Repair Bill,” which proposes to destroy the rights of workers unions
and Wisconsin citizens.<span style=""> </span>This is the
largest rally that UWM has seen since 1971.<br><br></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">On the March 2<sup>nd</sup> National Day of Action to Defend
Public Education, Milwaukee SDS organized another walkout to continue the
opposition to Walker’s attack on workers and students.<span style=""> </span>2,000 university students and staff walked
out and took over streets around the campus.<br>
<br>
Last week, SDS chapters from around the country travelled to the occupied
Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, where they led a student contingent in the
100,000 strong rally against Walker.<br><br></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">At the end of our rally in solidarity with the 3<sup>rd</sup>
National Day of Action to Defend Public Education, which over 2,000 people
attended, UWM community members began an occupation of their university.<br><br></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Education is a Right!<span style="">
