At Milwaukee’s LGBT Pride march June 12, Bail Out the People Movement activists marched with the spirited “From Stonewall to WI: Queer Workers United” contingent. The contingent included Milwaukee public school teachers, university workers, and other public workers, students and community members.

Onlookers and passersby enthusiastically greeted the contingent and joined in chants of “2, 4, 6, 8, support our workers gay or straight!” Other progressives included Planned Parenthood Wisconsin, progressive faith groups, numerous lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer organizations and others.

The contingents were part of the burgeoning people’s uprising in Wisconsin that is fighting union-busting and other anti-people attacks.
