March 17, 2011
Communities of color, Monica Adams notes, "were already organizing, we already knew about the wrath of Walker, we knew how he was over Milwaukee, we knew that he'd have targeted attacks."

Ben Manski & Kabzuag Vaj: Making a Bigger Movement in Wisconsin
February 24, 2011
"This movement has to expand, we have no choice. They have no interest in compromise. . . we have to bend them or break them, because that's what they're doing to working class people in this state," says Ben Manski of Wisconsin WAVE, a new organization fighting austerity measures. He notes that labor organizations have nearly unanimously voted for a call for a national general strike should Scott Walker's attack on unions be signed into law. And Kabzuag Vaj of Freedom, Inc. notes that, "If Governor Walker can attack people with some resources to fight back, he has no fear of poor people or people who have no resources."
GRITtv Special: Workers Protest in Columbus, Ohio & Madison, Wisconsin
February 23, 2011
Welcome to the third day of our special coverage from the workers' protests across the country. Today's show features Columbus, Ohio as well as Madison, Wisconsin. Thanks again to our friends at The Uptake, Free Speech TV, and WORT FM in Madison for making this collaboration happen, and a special thanks to the Rev. Jesse Jackson for bringing us to Columbus with him! As thousands protest Ohio governor John Kasich's plan to gut public workers' collective bargaining rights, Brian Rothenberg of ProgressOhio notes that the election that put Kasich in charge was the result of a lot of people staying home out of frustration, and that those same people have been awakened by the moves of the new administration.
