Officials in Washington, D.C. are bracing for the largest George Floyd protest to date. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told the Associated Press local officials are estimating between 100,000 and 200,000 people will attend the demonstration. 

They have set up road closures throughout the district in preparation for those flocking to the nation's capital.

Various businesses, however, are showing their support for protestors by opening their doors. Protesters will have the ability to use the restroom, sit down and rest, get water and charge their phones.

To keep social distancing in mind, most of the businesses are only allowing 10 people in at a time.
