On Wednesday night, activist networks were abuzz with news of the presence of Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder, Rep. Robin Vos, co-chair of the powerful Joint Committee on Finance, and Rep. John Nygren at a local bar in Madison.
"Miles is one of a very loosely knit group of a few hundred activists in Madison who have kept up a consistent, daily oppositional presence at the Capitol and on the trail of Scott Walker and other Republican legislators. Through the Solidarity Sing Along and other activist organizing over the past seven months, these people have kept the spirit of resistance alive. As one person told me, “I’m here for the 100,000 other people who were with us on the streets in February and who would like to be here now but they can’t.”

We are bearing daily witness to the coup d'etat that has taken place in Wisconsin and that continues to be rolled out on a daily basis in dozens of ways in our communities.
