Orange County Restaurants Collectively Protest In Defiance Of Newsom’s Order

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order went into effect Monday, shuttering restaurants and other small businesses throughout the state. Some restaurants in Orange County have banded together, however, and will remain open in defiance of the order.

Publicist Alexandra Taylor called on business owners in Orange County to voice their support for the #OpenSafe movement in an Instagram post, tagging every restaurant and small business that pledged allegiance; the list has been rapidly growing since.

“RESTAURANTS. I represent them, I invest in them, I celebrate them, I support them, I am passionate beyond words for them, for the PEOPLE behind them— and I will fight for them,” said Taylor.
