Wisconsin’s radical right-wing Governor  Scott Walker will be hosting a fundraiser for a local far-right organization at  the Seattle Sheraton this Thursday!

Local progressives are joining together for  a counter rally to make sure Gov. Walker gets the message that his regressive  and extreme agenda is not one that’s welcome in Washington.

More from The  Stand:

Join with union members, environmental and  community activists, local businesses and others who plan to send a message to  Scott Walker and his right-wing supporters that his divisive anti-labor,  job-killing, environment-damaging policies aren’t welcome in Washington state.  The event will be from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 5 outside the Seattle  Sheraton Hotel, 1400 6th Ave. Download the event flier, spread the word and make plans to  attend, and bring your signs and banners!
The Sept. 5 event is sponsored by the M.L. King  County Labor Council PAC Committee. For more information, contact email Dianne Gross or call  her at 206-441-7102 or the MLKCLC at 206-441-8510.

We hope you can make it!

It can be depressing to see workers under attack — by Republican governors, by corporations, by opponents of Social Security.

But if you want to see a truly uplifting video that reminds us what today is all about, check out this viral video:

Positive, uplifting pro-union viral video

This was made by John Wood, a British guy who calls himself a “Labor geek,” and it’s gone viral on YouTube.

Check it out. If you like it, share it with others. Thanks for being a bold progressive.
