Members of the Columbia Area National Organization for Women and other members of the community will be counter-protesting on Friday. The number of counter-protesters who will be at each site is unknown. Westboro Baptist Church previously protested in Columbia on May 14. Some Columbia residents participated in “Pledge a Protester” by pledging money per person that counter-protested. That program has been altered slightly for the protests on Friday. Participants can pledge money for every minute that Westboro Baptist Church protests, said Mary Mosley, president of the Columbia Area NOW . Proceeds from the pledge will go to the Center Project, which is a community center for people of all sexual identities in Columbia.
