wisconsin feed appears to be back to live stream -- "we cannot just talk right now"

[Hannah Bell]

guy saying they have to get organized, we can leave, we can ring the capitol, we can sneak up the stairwells & stay all night...

another lady: "I want to be proud of my country" -- starts singing god bless america

next lady: union nurse speaking...just got off 8 hours at university hospital with mentally ill, if we're not there, who will take care of them - not the republicans - i'm angry & i know you are -- but i know if you take your anger & funnel it into action you can accomplish whatever -- get out in the streets, get your neighbors involved & the people will win.

next lady: this lady is spending her birthday here, let's sing happy birthday to her (singing)
