FOX 29's Jeff Cole reports. HARRISBURG - Thousands attended a protest Monday in Harrisburg to rally against Pennsylvania official's decision to keep businesses shuttered and statewide restrictions in place. "We have not done any business in the past six weeks.
We need to open our business now," small business owner Linda Smith said. The constant blaring of horns led up to the noon Reopen PA rally.
The organizers argue the statewide shutdown is taking a toll on livelihoods in the state. "It just broke my heart to speak with my barber who was shut down by the cops now he can’t make his livelihood," organizer Joel Underwood said.Some protesters wore protective masks, but many didn’t, and social distancing largely took a backseat in the crowd
