Personal stories and photographs from the 2011 Wisconsin worker protests combine in this book to paint a stirring portrait of ordinary citizen protesters as diverse as America itself. This intimate look into the lives of individual protesters provides insight into their feelings, reasons, and motivations for attending the rallies and dispels common misconceptions that were portrayed in the media. From the moving tale of a Vietnam vet who finally felt welcomed back to his country to a delightful encounter with high school students who skipped class to support their teachers, these are the stories and faces behind the largest protests in the state of Wisconsin since the 1960s.
