The main convoy will start in the Barstow, Calif., area and head east to Washington, DC. It will be joined by other convoys as they drive across the country.
The Convoy is joined by the Global Covid Summit and Freedom Flyers, which will create a diverse group of pilots, truckers and doctors.
Organizers of the “People’s Convoy” appeared on Eric Bolling’s Newsmax show where they announced that they are ready to roll.
“I think you’re going to see it grow as we move across the country,” said People’s Convoy co-organizer Brian Brase. “Initially, we’ve projected potentially a little over a thousand trucks right out the gate to start.”

Organizers said they have been watching and learning from the Canadian convoy.
“We have been able to really garner some of the best and brightest on our team to make sure that this convoy goes off without a hitch,” said co-organizer Maureen Steele.
They are paying special attention to fundraising issues that the Canadian truckers have experienced. Most of the money the Canadian truckers raised off of crowdfunding sites like GiveSendGo has been seized by the government. They also had their donor data hacked and leaked to the press.
“Our funds are not going to be able to be frozen or hijacked,” Steele assured potential donors.
The US convoy’s web page includes a link for donors that redirects to the homepage of the American Foundation for Civil Liberties & Freedom. Donors are given the option to use credit card, PayPal or cryptocurrency.
A separate link invites truckers to register for the convoy.
The organizers said they were promoting the convoy as a peaceful protest aimed at ending the federal emergency orders which grants the government extraordinary powers.
“We demand the declaration of national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic be lifted immediately and our cherished Constitution reign supreme,” said a statement on the website.
