(WGTD)---Several dozen protesters marked Cinco de Mayo with a demonstration on Racine’s Monument Square to urge 1st District Congressman Bryan Steil to stand up to the Trump administration.
Members of Racine Educators United and the League of United Latin American Citizens joined forces to demand that the Janesville Republican condemn attacks on immigrants, labor rights and public education.
State Representative Angelina Cruz (D-Racine), who also serves as president of the R-U-S-D employee group, issued her own threat. "Let me be clear. If he (Steil) refuses to do so we will organize and we will mobilize and come November will will vote him out of office because Wisconsin deserves a representative who fights for us not against us," she said.
After the rally, the participants marched to Steil’s office in the Racine County Courthouse to deliver constituent comment forms.
