SACRAMENTO (KABC) -- Some California lawmakers marched outside the state Capitol to protest the stay-at-home orders.

Protest leaders include Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner and Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Hewitt.

Members of the group "Re-Open Cal Now" have been meeting this weekend for a conference in Sacramento.
