Protesters pitch a Tent City in Madison

Citizens from throughout Wisconsin are returning to the State Capitol beginning this weekend, but with a different approach from the mass rallies of February and March.

This time they are setting up Walkerville – a ‘city’ of tents around the Capitol Square calling attention to the devastating state budget cuts to education, health care and other programs benefiting Wisconsin’s working families. This Tent City will stay up possibly for weeks as the Legislature debates the Republicans’ Draconian state budget, with its massive impacts on children, parents, the elderly, disabled, union workers and much more.

Walkerville information is available on several websites, and updates will be posted regularly through social media. Here are a few of the websites that have information about Walkerville:

• weac.org/activities
• Defend Wisconsin
• Citizen Action of Wisconsin
• Wisconsin State AFL-CIO
