On Tuesday, March 15, Longmont Democrats and Progressives joined thousands of activists across the nation to demonstrate for the rights of the oppressed union workers in Wisconsin. The local demonstration was held at 6th and Main and was comprised of 50 spirited individuals seeking to make their voices known and to stand up for those whose collective bargaining rights were forcibly stripped by Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker and his fellow Republicans in the Wisconsin state House and Senate.
