Several hundred protest in North Carolina, call on governor to reopen state

Several hundred protesters in Raleigh, North Carolina, took to the state’s general assembly building on Tuesday to protest the governor’s lockdown orders and demand the state reopen.

Some protesters held signs that said “every business is essential” and “I am essential.”

A counter-protest was also present, saying that it was not yet safe to reopen the state.

Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) was in attendance and said he plans to tell North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper that “we need a plan to end this order.”
