Wisconsin s 'Capitol City' Was Testing Ground for Participatory Democracy

Ryan Harvey, Truthout: 'That was before the Wisconsin State Capitol building was occupied and several large wildcat strikes and student walkouts brought thousands into the streets. Soon, all fourteen Democratic senators would flee the state and the largest demonstrations in Wisconsin s history would bring international attention to the antiunion agenda behind the bill. I came to Madison and slept in the Capitol for five nights during the occupation. I wanted to get a clear understanding of the movement s depth, capacity and commitment. I traveled back more recently to get the story of how the occupation came to be, how it was organized, how people have reflected on it since and the role it has played in the mass movement here.'
