Join the Save Our Services Rally October 1st at 5 p.m. at the State St corner of the State Capitol.
The state budget passed in July slashes aid to schools, local governments, and state agencies. There is an alternative. Rescind the tax cuts on corporations and wealthy people. Close the loopholes that let large, profitable companies pay no state income tax. Pretty soon you’re talking real money!
Speakers are Arlene Silveira (Madison School Board), John Hendrick (Dane Co. Supervisor), Peter Rickman (President of the TAA) and Jim Cavanaugh from the South Central Federation of Labor (SCFL).
We thank AFSCME 171 for initiating the event.
Endorsers include AFSCME 68, SCFL, ISO, Union of Immigrant Workers,
Progressive Dane, Madison Area Peace Coalition.

We, the members of Progressive Dane, join together to form an independent political party in Dane County with a major focus on local issues. We pledge to work to improve the quality of life in Dane County for all people, particularly those marginalized by economic and social discrimination. We will work to improve our local government by making it open, easier to understand, and accessible for all citizens of Dane County. We are working to achieve positive policy change by electing accountable progressive officials and mobilizing citizen action.
