By Bill Fetty
On Thursday, April 4, 2013, citizens from all over Rock County and students at Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville, WI came to hear from their Congressman, Mark Pocan, who shares a district border with Paul Ryan.

On Saturday, March 30 at 5 p.m., the ASO board will convene in our office at 122 State Street, room 404, for our bimonthly board meeting. Any member is welcome to attend. 

On Wednesday March 27, 2013, members of the Autonomous Solidarity Organization, Steph Mulvey, Bill Fetty, Ken Dunbeck, and Brel Hutton-Okpalaeke made the 3 hour trip down from Madison, WI to Chicago, IL for a teachers rally and march against Rahm Emanuel’s policy that will close over 60 Chicago Public School facilities. This move disproportionately affects minority neighborhoods in Chicago and brings down public education options for all. For that and to show solidarity with the workers who came to stand by us since February 2011, the  ASO decided to be there.
