Moveon.org is sponsoring two rallies Tuesday in the Twin Cities to support Wisconsin government union workers who lost many of their collective bargaining rights last week.

In Minneapolis, a "Solidarity Rally for Wisconsin Workers" will start at 5:30 p.m. at the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis. Eliot Seide, director of AFSCME Council 5, the largest state employees’ union, will be emcee.

In downtown St. Paul, a "Defend the Dream" rally will be held in Rice Park at 5:30 p.m.
