CAPITOL SQUARE DEMONSTRATIONS

Saturday, March 5th

For the third consecutive weekend, Madison's Capitol Square was witness to a mass of passionate humanity as tens of thousands peacefully assembled to exercise democracy and First Amendment rights. Once again, there were no arrests and no citations. Large numbers of Wisconsinites continue to show their commitment to voicing disagreement over proposed legislation without violence, and officers, deputies, troopers, wardens and others sworn to protect and serve thank demonstrators for their collective demeanor.
