So here it is, my 78 year old mother attending her first protest rally on Saturday in Madison. It was her idea, too. Drove from Milwaukee with my brother and sister to meet up with the other sister at the State Capitol to protest the Walker administration's recent moves. To quote one sister, "I had other plans, but we had to change everything and take my mother to a rally with a hundred thousand other people." She's a lifelong member of the
Communications Workers of America, married to a member of the
International Union of Elevator Constructors. I understand she had a blast.
