While most stayed in their cars during a protest Sunday, hundreds of protesters took to Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza across the street from the state Capitol in Phoenix on Monday afternoon to protest the length of the shutdown Gov. Doug Ducey enacted in March that extends through April.
Organized on Facebook by a group called Reopen Arizona, several hundred people filled the park, played music and listened to speeches over a loudspeaker.

Signs were on display with sayings such as “#endthefearrany” and stories about how the order has shut down their small businesses.
