Our Wisconsin Revolution is joining two events this week on opposite sides of the fence. Today at 4 p.m., we will protest Trump's appearance in Oshkosh. On Thursday at 5 p.m. we will march on the DNC. See below for more information about each event.

Today 4 p.m.: Protest Trump in Oshkosh!

Donald Trump confirmed that he will be making a visit to Oshkosh on Monday, August 17 - the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

Trump represents the main enemy of working and oppressed people across the country and across the world. He must be met wherever he goes with the people's opposition!

Our Wisconsin Revolution is part of a coalition that led the charge at protests in Milwaukee and Green Bay each of the last two times Trump chose to come to Wisconsin, and we'll be on the front lines for this visit, too. Trump is not welcome in our state!

We learned that Trump will be speaking at 4:30 p.m. from the Basler Flight Service building located at Wittman Airport. We're working out precisely where the best place will be for us to protest, but for the sake of having a location, the address to Basler Flight Service is 525 W. 20th Ave., Oshkosh, WI 54902.

Please wear masks and try to maintain some degree of social distancing.

Thursday 5 p.m.: We Can't Breathe March on the DNC

The Coalition to March on the DNC will host a rally and march on the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, August 20, at 5 p.m. in Dontre Hamilton (Red Arrow) Park Milwaukee.

We will march behind the slogan "WE CAN'T BREATHE" to continue to the righteous protest against police killings of Black people. We demand real police accountability and an end to police crimes and racist policies that have been enabled by both the Democratic and Republican leaders.

The Coalition to March on the DNC is a broad, national coalition of left and progressive forces including Our Wisconsin Revolution, working with dozens of local Milwaukee groups and activists. We are rallying behind demands including but not limited to:

Community Control of the Police / Stop Police Terror
End US Wars and Interventions / Money for Human Needs, Not War
Legalization for All / No More Deportations
Tax the Rich
Medicare for All
Climate Action Now
Fight to Expand Union and Worker Rights
We Demand Peace, Justice, and Equality!

“All eyes will be on Milwaukee when the people’s movements protest outside the DNC as it takes place at the Fiserv Forum the week of August 17. The Coalition calls on all progressive, left, democratic and socialist organizations to join us in unity,” says Omar Flores, spokesperson for the Coalition.

In previous years, organizers of the Coalition led mass marches that drew tens of thousands to the 2008 RNC in St. Paul, Minn., and thousands to the 2012 RNC in Tampa, Fla., and the 2016 RNC in Cleveland.

Our solidarity is based on respect for a diversity of tactics, and the plans of other groups.
