Cancel Rent: City Hall Entrance, @MKEMATU (twitter)

For May Day a couple anarchists travelled around downtown Milwaukee to give the city a light show in support of the efforts put forth by the Milwaukee Area Tenants Union. The message to cancel rent was blasted across several buildings downtown, most notably the BMO building and city hall.

MATU has been working hard on mutual aid projects and spreading the word that the people need a bailout, not the banks. You can keep up with their work by following them on twitter @MKEMATU instagram @mkeautonomoustenantsunion. If you want to get involved, check out their website here.

RWPH Pop-up Food Pantry: Riverwest

By riotmke | Published: 2020/04/20

The Riverwest Public House has been hosting a pop-up food pantry, twice weekly, serving the community with basic needs for free (and accepting donations to further the cause). They’ve got basic household needs as well as some food staples such as milk, bread, eggs, fruits & veggies, to help people affected by the state’s shut down of “non-essential” activities and businesses. We all need to eat, and they’re doing their best to ensure that we all can. Sundays and Mondays, 12pm-6pm.

Caravan Protest for Covid-19: Racine, Wi

By riotmke | Published: 2020/04/14

Milwaukee DSA organized a protest through Racine, Wisconsin — home of one Robin Vos, speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly. There’s much to say about him, but suffice it to say, he’s a real piece of fucking garbage.

Participants taped signs in the windows of their cars, honked their horns, played loud music, and most importantly — maintained social distancing while letting the city of Racine know how they felt about the fuckface who “represents” them.
