Protesters have amassed around Michigan’s capitol building in Lansing to demonstrate against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s latest order that places restrictions on travel, the sale of nonessential items, and more.

The Michigan Conservative Coalition organized Operation Gridlock around the capitol building. Photos and videos posted by local media outlets showed a number of people in their cars with messages while some opted to go outside the building and hold signs.
