Wisconsin Public Workers Deliver for Occupy Wall Street: Send Pizza in Solidarity
Today Wisconsin public employees stood in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street by making a donation to Liberatos Pizza to fuel the anti-corporate protest.
Protesters in Madison, Wisconsin, earlier this spring were the beneficiaries of pizza donated from people all over the world who supported public employees in their fight to protect their freedom to unionize from corporate-backed Governor Scott Walker.
“We were grateful for all the support that came to Wisconsin from around the world and we wanted to help our brothers and sisters in New York City,” said Tim Birkley, an AFSCME Local 60 member who works for the city of Madison.
“From Madison to Manhattan, it’s time for the other ninety-nine percent to stand up for ourselves and restore the American Dream,” Birkley said.
