The People’s Convoy took off from California en route to Washington D.C. to protest mandates and fight for freedom. The group, which has grown to at least 10,000 people including truckers and civilians, was sparked by the Freedom Convoy in Canada – that was protesting the vaccine Mandate on essential workers who needed to cross the U.S. border for work.
That convoy peacefully protested in downtown Ottawa in January and faced harsh reaction from Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Many of the protesters were ripped out of their trucks and arrested.
The People’s Convoy sings ‘Amazing Grace’ at many of their stops and say they will continue their protest until vaccine mandates are listed.
Here is a mission statement from the People’s Convoy.
WHO WE ARE: We are truckers, moms, students, nurses, doctors, investors, county workers, teachers, cowboys, loggers, engineers, sanitation workers, professors, cashiers, flight attendants, pilots, sales reps, physical therapists. WE ARE, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, married, single, divorced, separated, gay, straight. WE ARE Black, White, Asian, Native American. WE ARE immigrants, natives: WE ARE citizens of the free world.
To our elected officials that believe they rule us: YOU work for US. Our constitution was written to provide enough power to act on a national level, but not enough to deprive the people of fundamental rights. The people are prepared to see this challenge through — as we have seen through all challenges to our Freedom in the past. And we will prevail and prosper.
To our brave and courageous neighbors to the North — our Canadian brothers and sisters who led the charge — we join your call to Freedom with THE PEOPLE’S CONVOY.
