As rallies at the Capitol enter their 12th day, unions are increasing efforts to coordinate acts of protest around the state, though numbers of protesters present have been in decline.
Teaching Assistants’ Association co-president Kevin Gibbons said a large number of rallies were held around the state Thursday in an expression of solidarity with activists who continue to occupy the Capitol in Madison.
Though numbers of attendees have dipped below levels from the previous weekend and Capitol Police are not making active crowd estimations, Gibbons said events around the state would continue to fuel the protesters’ momentum.
Upwards of 20 events were scheduled Thursday by unions around the state, including the “Bridge to Compromise” rally in Green Bay, where 100 people gathered on a bridge to call for compromise.
Gibbons also said the rallies have had an impact in influencing opposition protests in Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and other states around the country.
