Trucker protest to begin on Wednesday. People’s Convoy to journey from CA to DC.
Where: California
The Facts
America’s version of the Canadian trucker’s protest is set to begin Wednesday in Adelanto, CA.
Organizers hope to have 1,000 semi-truck drivers by Wednesday, when a group called the ‘People’s Convoy’ leaves Adelanto, CA, and begins an 11-day journey to Washington, DC.
In the same vein as the Canadian Freedom Convoy, the People’s Convoy protesters insist that the “government has forgotten its place” and that COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates are unconstitutional stretches of power.
According to co-organizer Maureen Steele, the convoy will have a noon staging at Adelanto Stadium followed by a public send-off rally at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
The organizers have stated that they do not intend to disrupt roads or bridges like the events in Canada.
