The convoy is scheduled to go from Adelanto in California, this Wednesday, and reach Washington, D.C., next Saturday, March 5, according to a news release from the convoy’s website.
“We have more than 1,000 truckers. I have lost count right now and I understand it will keep growing,” organizer Maureen Steele said to Newsmax last week.
And she made the point of saying that “freedom” is what the convoy is guarding.
“Freedom is not free. Now is our chance as Americans to ensure freedom for the future, and we are doing this lawfully. We can gather and we have the right to protest, we won’t be breaking any laws. If there are any other convoys that are unlawful, that won’t be ours,” she said.
In a separate tv interview this Thursday, she said that convoy organizers were making it a priority to cooperate with law enforcement.
She said it will have advance teams “just to check in with police in towns ahead of the trucker convoy, that if we are going to gather there and ensure they are prepared for a huge convoy to come through town.”
The press release said the goal of the protest is to demand an end to all the mandates related to the covid pandemic, is to be a “law-abiding convoy – we hope to see more Americans there!”
