After six weeks of forgoing work and paychecks, keeping children home from school and canceling life events big and small, Californians are growing restless with the uncertainty of when they will regain some semblance of normalcy.
From the lawn in front of the state capitol building to the streets of Huntington Beach, protests erupted Friday against the statewide stay-at-home order, which has helped slow the spread of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic but also led 3.9 million Californians — or about 10% of the state’s population — to file for unemployment in less than two months.
