Hello everyone! Today there are MoveOn emergency rallies being held across the nation to show our solidarity with Wisconsin.
People are being encouraged to participate by attending the rallies and to wear red and white, colors of UW Madison!
Rallies have already begun up-and-down the east coast. You can watch live coverage at MoveOn.org

Here are some twitter hashtags to follow: #WeAreWi, #wiunion, #solidarity,#WITeachers, #SolidarityWI #StateSOS and #classwar. If you know of any more, please share them in the comments.
I will be posting photos of the rallies as the photos are being tweeted from various rallies. Unfortunately, most of the photos are being tweeted without stating which capital city they are in.
