Wisconsin Wave, a broad coalition that has played a leading
role in the Wisconsin uprising, and is also the executive
director of the Liberty Tree Foundation, an associate fellow
with the Institute for Policy Studies, and a co-founder of the
Move to Amend coalition. Politically engaged since his early
childhood in Israel and Wisconsin, now in his mid-30s, Ben
Manski has worked for a variety of causes, notably serving as
co-chair of the Green Party of the United States. Manski was a
primary figure in the student movements of the 1990s, serving
then as national coordinator of the Democracy Teach-Ins in the
lead-up to the Seattle WTO protests. Today is a public
interest lawyer, teaches sociology at Madison College, and
remains a committed pro-democracy advocate.</I></P></TD></TR>

<P><I><STRONG>Erika Wolf:</STRONG> With 10 years as a
community organizer, peer educator, and public advocate under
her belt, Erika Wolf became a hub of information, strategy,
and organizing in the Wisconsin mobilizations through her role
in the State Capitol Occupation. Through rallies, public
hearings, marches, Walkerville tent city, and many of the
actions in between, she has been a trainer, adviser,
facilitator, mediator, tactician, and voice of reason. Erika
is the Advocacy Field Organizer for United Council of UW
Students, a job which makes her privy to strategizing and
planning in Madison and statewide with labor leaders, folks
directly affected by budget cuts and concessions, non-profit
organizations, community leaders, lawyers, elected folks,
police, and everyday activists. In the fight against the rise
of fascism—in Wisconsin and in the US—Erika has placed herself
in both behind-the-scenes logistics teams and on the
frontlines, shoulder-to-shoulder with others engaged in this
struggle. Erika believes that we all the individual power to
take action to move this world from human wrongs to human
rights.</I></P></TD></TR>
