Occupation of the Wisconsin State Capitol Building

13,000 enraged workers and students stormed and occupied the parliament building in Madison, Wisconsin on February 16, 2011. The State Capitol Building is still occupied, and recently 70,000 people protested against a new law, which abolishes the right to collective bargaining for employees in the public sector.


The protest spreads from Wisconsin across the United States.
