Updated: New location at Wooster Green for protest of Trump executive orders on Friday

Due to a request from city officials, the protest against the Trump Administration in Bowling Green on Friday, Feb. 7, from  4-6 p.m., has been moved to Wooster Green instead of the four corners downtown. Wooster Green is located at the southwest corner of West Wooster Street and South Church Street. 

A representative of the City of Bowling Green said this afternoon that the location change was suggested by the city.

“We’re expecting it to be a decent size,” the representative said of the protest.

The protest is being supported by the organization Bowling Green Persists.

An Instagram message posted by @bc.bgsu said it was calling for the protest in response to President Trump’s numerous orders attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, immigration, and LGBTQIA+ rights. 

The statement said:  “it is our right as humans, educated Black women and members of the queer, first generation and disabled communities at large (respectively) to express how disheartening, exclusionary and unconstitutional it is for any entity to take part in such a directive, even if ordered by a sitting American President.”
