Central Oregon-based photographer Caitlin Eddolls attended Saturday's rally at the Oregon State Capitol, where hundreds demonstrated in favor of re-opening Oregon businesses currently closed due to COVID-19 social distancing measures imposed by Gov. Kate Brown. Counter-protestors were also at Salem's rally, wearing medical gear.

Brown said this week that she would consider relaxing closures as early as May 15 in Oregon counties with "few to no cases" and other measures in place. See a slideshow from the rally:
