On Monday, thousands plan to protest gun control measures in Virginia. Organizers of the deadly Charlottesville rally also plan to attend.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared a temporary emergency Wednesday banning guns from Capitol Square in Richmond ahead of a rally expected to draw thousands in protest of gun control measures, including far-right extremists.
VCDL expects upward of 130,000 people to attend the event and is planning to bus people in from across the state. Baseless conspiracy theories have also been floating around online that the National Guard will be called in and that the governor plans to shut down the electric grid. The hoaxes have proliferated so widely that the governor had to clarify that, no, he is not going to shut off the electric grid.
