Sorry for posting this almost last minute, but last I looked, there wasn't any mention of WV (which sadly didn't surprise me).

Time: Noon
Place: Capitol lawn on the river side

...protestors will gather on the Capitol lawn on the river side at noon and let attendees tell their story of why they are against Project 2025

Edit: I'm curious what kind of turnout this had. Haven't seen any reports in the news yet. Unfortunately couldn't attend since I'm an hour away, it's on a weekday, and didn't even know there would be any participation in WV until early this morning.

Edit 2: https://www.wowktv.com/news/we-are-being-attacked-protesters-gather-at-west-virginia-capitol-against-trump-morrisey/

The article doesn't list a number, but it does say "hundreds" were in attendance, so that's far beyond what I expected. Wish I could have been there.

Thanks.

It's unfathomable to me that we used to be very pro union and democratic here. The people in this state seem to have completely forgotten our history. It's sad and infuriating to see.
