Lois Gibbs speaks at WVEC’s first E-Day (Jan. 22, 1990), rallying 450+ activists to declare the 1990s the ‘Decade of the Environment.’ Gibbs, known for her activism at Love Canal, N.Y., continues to inspire the fight for environmental justice.
Join us at the WV State Capitol on Monday, March 17, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to stand with fellow advocates and send a clear message: West Virginians demand strong environmental protections for clean air, safe water, and public lands.
And what better day to celebrate environmental action than St. Patrick’s Day? As people across the country wear green, we’ll be at the WV State Capitol making sure WV stays green for generations. Registration is now open!
Why Show Up?
- Legislators pay attention to who’s in the room. The more people they see speaking up for our future, the harder it is to ignore us.
- In-person advocacy makes a difference. A face-to-face conversation is far more impactful than an email or phone call.
- The legislative session will be in full swing, and lawmakers need to hear directly from us about the bills that matter.
What to Expect at E-Day 2025
- Meet with Legislators: Have direct conversations about issues and policies.
- Join the Rally: Stand alongside advocates and lawmakers calling for change.
- Presence Matters: A strong turnout sends a powerful message—West Virginians care about clean air, safe water and public lands.
- Exhibit & Connect: Nonprofits, student groups, and advocacy organizations will showcase their work.
- Celebrate Environmental Leadership: This year, we’re reintroducing awards to recognize emerging advocates and legacy environmental champions who have impacted WV’s environmental movement.
Join the 35th Anniversary Celebration!
The first E-Day occurred on January 22, 1990, when over 450 citizens from across the state gathered at the WV State Capitol to declare the 1990s as the “Decade of the Environment” in West Virginia. The impact was immediate—constituents flooded legislators with their concerns, and thanks to statewide media coverage, E-Day became a cornerstone of WVEC’s mission.
Since the first E-Day, we’ve shown that a visible, vocal movement is the key to change. Let’s ensure legislators know we are watching, caring, and holding them accountable.
The best way to make an impact? Show up.
