ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) – Long lines of cars snaked through the narrow streets of Annapolis as part of a protest pushing back against widespread shutdowns of businesses that have been enacted to combat the coronavirus.
The protest began around noon Saturday and proceeded in an orderly fashion. A group called Reopen Maryland has received more than 2,000 signatures to a petition asking Gov. Larry Hogan to immediately reopen businesses as well as educational and religious institutions.
Protesters waved signs reading “All jobs are essential,” “Shut down the shutdown” and “It’s 2020, not Orwell’s 1984.” Several people carried Trump 2020 signs.
