“The People’s Convoy” Heading To Washington, Organizers Unveil Their Plans
A trucker-led convoy will kick off on Feb. 23 from the Barstow area in California, and head eastbound toward the capital of the constitutional republic—Washington D.C.—to peacefully protest to end the federal government’s emergency powers (pdf) declared since March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and restore freedoms protected by the Constitution.
Barstow is a city about 100 miles from Los Angeles where truckers often converge since it’s a major crossroads.
The large convoy goes by the name “The People’s Convoy” and will be non-partisan and cross-cultural in nature.
At the start of the convoy, an estimated 500 to 1,000 trucks will gather and depart eastward for Kingman, Arizona. The next morning, they will depart from that location and head east on Interstate 40 toward Lupton, Arizona. On Feb. 25, they plan to arrive at Glenrio, Texas.
The exact locations have not yet been specified due to the need to maintain operational security and to leave time to coordinate with local municipalities.
More details on the routes will be released two or three days in advance “as safety dictates, but you can expect us to travel along I-40 and work our way up towards D.C.,” Brian Brase, one of the core truckers that are organizing The People’s Convoy, told The Epoch Times.- READ MORE
