Activities for Wednesday, July 11, 2012

7/11 Wed 6 pm What Happened in Wisconsin? A Radical Perspective on the Wisconsin Uprising - Madison. Rainbow Bookstore (426 W. Gilman) Join an informal discussion with Bob McChesney, Andrew Sernatinger, Paul Buhle, Mari Jo Buhle, and Ruth Conniff. In the aftermath of the June 5 recall election, radicals, progressives, and liberals in Wisconsin are discussing why things happened the way they did in the last year and a half. How did a mass movement in the streets get funneled into the recall election? What alternatives were there and why were they not pursued? And how did Walker and the Republicans mobilize a large number of voters to reject the recall? Was it money alone? And, most importantly, where do we go from here?
