Week of Action to Pass the PRO Act, July 17-25

Working people are going ALL OUT to pass the PRO Act. We’re rallying and marching to Senate offices, demanding our senators protect our right to organize and join unions.

Protective Equipment, Sanitized Workplace is Every Worker’s Right

Working people are being infected at work and dying from COVID-19 in every sector.

Working people in Wisconsin continue to bring the full-court press to Pass the PRO Act with in-person events at Senate offices around the state.
