Oct. 16 shutdown protest

From Opportunity Wisconsin:

On Thursday, October 16th at 5:30 PM, we will gather outside Rep. Van Orden’s office at 210 7th St S in La Crosse for a Government Shutdown Protest.

Mobilize Event

Republicans have refused to prevent harmful cuts to healthcare, choosing to continue the government shutdown instead. We’ll stand together to demand that Rep. Van Orden restore healthcare and keep the government open. A shutdown means higher health care costs, more strain on food programs, and even more uncertainty for families who are already struggling.

We invite everyone to think about what you would say to Rep. Van Orden if he were here. If you’d like, bring remarks to share with the group — whether that’s a short story about how cuts affect you, or simply why keeping the government open matters to your family.

Please join us and bring a friend. Feel free to bring a candle or sign if you’d like. Our costume suggestion? Chicken theme!
