Tens of thousands of West Virginians lack access to clean drinking water. We continue to call on the State to prioritize the needs of people in our state, not the wants of religious institutions, in future decision-making.

Sending West Virginia troops to support President Trump’s attempt to sow fear in D.C. communities is unnecessary and inflammatory. It’s also an unlawful misuse of our state’s Guard members.

We’ll see the governor in court.

Militarization will not make the nation’s capital safer (crime is already at a 30-year low) and more police will not solve homelessness; they will only make the problem worse.

After the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain – which saw troops weaponized against U.S. citizens – legal battles shaped West Virginia’s laws to restrict governors’ abilities to deploy the Guard.

Deployments outside our borders can only be for specific, enumerated purposes — none of which exist here.
