On Tuesday a rally and press conference were held in the lower rotunda to “demand government accountability for protection of safe drinking water,” and to release a letter of solidarity to the residents of Flint, MI from 37 West Virginia groups, including the WVEC. The event was well attended by sympathizers as well as media.
