Thursday May 1st 12:00 – 1:30pm in Berkeley Springs, WV
MORGAN COUNTY COURTHOUSE Berkeley Springs, WV Because the Courthouse will be open for business on Thursday, we need to be respectful of the people entering & leaving. Many folks in Berkeley Springs do not align with our values and we do not want to create any confrontational situations. We must leave all access to the Courthouse clear. We will gather on the sidewalk along the east side of Washington St. north from the steps of the Courthouse. We can also extend on the sidewalk along the west side of Washington St. from the intersection with Fairfax St. south along the State Park. No signs are allowed in the State Park.
In the face of escalating attacks on working people, Morgan County Indivisible is joining the National Day of Protest to SAY NO to the billionaire takeover of the United States.
Across the country, people are rising up. We’re done watching billionaires like Musk and Trump strip our rights, starve our schools, attack unions, target elders, dehumanize LGBTQ families and disappear immigrants. This is a war on basic human rights—and we’re fighting back. On May Day, we’re marching for housing, healthcare, fair wages, union rights, and dignity for all, no matter your race, who you love, where you live, or where you’re from. We’re not asking. We’re taking back what’s ours. Their time is up. Ours is just beginning. Join us in telling the Trump regime we won’t back down!
Parking is on the street, some metered, some free. Meters only take quarters, meters are strictly monitored & the fines are steep. Please be respectful of businesses in the area. Not all businesses are be aligned with our cause. Reminder that we need to be aware of pedestrians and traffic on the streets. Stay on the sidewalks, but keep them accessible. Make sure the Courthouse remains accessible at all times. Everyone’s safety is important.
**Please note** A core principle behind our actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. Do not engage in any manner with those who disagree with our values. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation.
Bring your SPIRIT, your VOICE, a FRIEND, and a SIGN! And some good chants!
