Women’s rights organizations and elected officials plan to gather at the Capitol on Tuesday to call for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser to step aside.
Justice Ann Walsh Bradley has accused Prosser of putting her in a chokehold her during an argument in her office last month — a charge he denies. Authorities are investigating the allegations.
Tuesday’s “Prosser Must Go” rally is scheduled to start at noon at the Capitol, according to NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin. At the event, participants plan to call for Prosser to step aside during the investigation and to resign if the incident is confirmed.
Speakers scheduled for the event include Dane County Supervisor Melissa Sargent, Madison Alderwoman Lisa Subeck and Anthony Prince, of the National Lawyers Guild – Madison chapter.
