Protesters are hitting the streets in Charleston, a day ahead of the GOP retreat at The Greenbrier, to voice their concerns about cuts to health care and Medicaid.
A rally Wednesday evening included people from all over the eastern U.S. gathering in Charleston, including one woman from as far away as Vermont.
It is a test run for a bigger demonstration on Thursday in Greenbrier County.
By the end of the night Wednesday, the group is expecting about 500 advocates in town -- standing together against Medicaid and health care cuts.
President Trump is scheduled to speak at Thursday’s GOP retreat.
