Evers to open the state to allow economic activity to continue. As protesters rally at the capitol, Republican state legislators fight a similar battle in the state's Supreme Court to limit Evers' Safer at Home order.

1,500 Rally at the State Capitol to Reopen Wisconsin
Frederica Freyberg:
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, protesters gather at the state Capitol in Madison Friday afternoon, a week after Governor Tony Evers extended Wisconsin’s “safer at home” order until May 26. Governor Evers, this week, refused to grant a protest permit. In violation of that order, protesters still gathered and carried signs rejecting the extended “safer at home” order enacted to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus. Demonstrators argue they are willing to take the risk in order to protect businesses and prevent further damage to the economy.
