NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—As Orange County’s small business owners fight off economic predictions of mass closures, some are banding together and fighting for their survival through a string of protests.

An estimated 600 small business owners, restaurateurs, and supporters gathered at Bob Henry Park in Newport Beach Dec. 13 for a nonpartisan protest against the regional stay-at-home orders, which includes an outdoor dining ban.
