Truckers fed up with the U.S. government’s endless emergency powers mandating masks and COVID-19 vaccines are gearing up for what they hope will become a Canadian-style “freedom convoy” to Washington, D.C., and are set to roll on Interstate 40 heading east from Barstow on Feb. 23.

A national group, called The People’s Convoy, is organizing the truckers who will hit the road for the nation’s capital to demand the Emergency Powers Act be lifted, ending the mandates, according to Chris Marston, chairman of the American Foundation for Civil Liberties and Freedom, a nonprofit that advocates for civil liberties and is helping coordinate the protest.
