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.
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.
Was noon on a Wednesday really a good idea? I guess you may not get a lot of people to travel anyway so you might as well try for the people that work locally?
Yeah, the timing seems kind of dumb considering people would have to take off work, drive there, etc on a weekday. But the counterpoint is that it would be more visible to politicians since it’s also a workday for them (versus a weekend).
I can see the logic to both, but I tend to agree a weekend gig would have been better; it would still be covered in the news after all.
