GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Like many around America today, Wisconsinites in Green Bay joined in by taking part in a walk from Joannes Park to City Hall, looking to have their voices heard and expressing their concerns about the state of the country.
“We think this is inappropriate; we think it is wrong to dismantle things that have taken us decades to create in terms of systems that support and help Americans,” says Wanda Truttmann Seiber, the Indivisible Brown County Rally Specialist.
Everyone who attended had signs, wore buttons or shirts, or wore inflatable costumes, all with the intent of their voices heard, expressing their 1st Amendment Rights.
Many are saying that change starts with our elected officials, hoping that they see this and show that they care for the people they are representing.
“We need Congress to step up and do the job that we sent them there to do, which is to provide an adequate check and balance to the other arms of the government. Congress isn’t doing its job,” says Seiber.

Richard and Jeannie Hibbard of De Pere came out to the rally to show that they care about the country and felt that this was a way to come out and show support for what people are doing.
“I feel that things are going really awry, and something I can do, it makes me feel better to come out and see that there are other people who feel the same way, and in my mind I am doing something,” says Jeannie.
As they walked the streets together, participants shared common opinions and beliefs, united by the hope that their actions could help bring about change. Along the way, they voiced their hopes and frustrations for restoring the country to the America they remember.
“Make America Great, was just a slogan; it was already great, and now it’s not as great,” says Richard. Once at City Hall, different leaders spoke on different topics, and discussed what they can do to make their voices heard.
