My First Protest

I've been voting three times with Mom in my short life, and on Thursday Mom decided to show me another side of Democracy- the right to assemble. We headed to Capital Square with my friend Nico and his mama, followed the crowds, and laughed at the funny signage.



We joined WI firefighters, police, teachers, nurses, and other citizens to protest outside of the "locked-down" capital building. We listened to speakers, cheered a lot, and even got to chant.



Mom and I especially thought it was great to see all the post-it notes that citizens have left on the door for Walker to read, since he won't let anyone come in the building to talk to him.




Our hard work protesting must have been effective, because the judge declared the "lock-down" illegal and they opened the capital doors a few hours later! Hooray! It's fun to exercise my civil rights!
