Denver’s Rally for Solidarity with Wisconsin Workers

FEBRUARY 22, 2011

Today, a number of solidarity rallies were held in cities across the country to show support for public workers, in Wisconsin and nationwide, as well as for unions and collective bargaining. Apparently, there was an organized schedule of counter-protests. In Denver, it consisted of a goofy bunch of people waving “Don’t Tread on me” flags, wearing tri-corner hats, playing Yankee Doodle on the flute, co-opting Pro-U.S. slogans, symbols and songs while otherwise providing a weird panorama of mixed messages and poorly crafted signs. Pandora was there and has some moments to share from the event.
