Â
Republicans Are Selling Us Out To Billionaires Like Elon Musk and Trump
Â
Milwaukee will take to the overpasses in a major public protest to send a loud, visible message to Republican lawmakers: Stop the Cuts. Organized by Indivisible and 50501 Milwaukee, this protest will shine a spotlight on GOP Members of Congress who are backing deep cuts to healthcare, education, climate funding, and more—while catering to billionaires like Trump and Musk.
- Specified overpasses along I-43/I-94 from General Mitchel International Airport to Fox Point.
- Show them how you feel about federal government cuts by crowding the overpasses!

Cleanup
Last but not least, we wanted to find a way to give back – and here in America’s Dairyland, we take pride in our communities and supporting each other. In the spirit of leaving things better than we found them, we ask that you bring a garbage bag) and gloves to the protest with you.
Please pick up any trash you see nearby during the event and on the walk back to your cars afterwards. Our goal is to make this county better in any way we can. Keeping our communities clean and leaving no trace after events is a great way to show the our country and representatives that we’re serious about improving the lives of Americans – even if our elected officials aren’t!

Bring a Friend!
