A convoy of up to 2,000 vehicles is expected to leave Hagerstown tomorrow morning and head towards Washington, DC to protest COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates. According to Zachary Petrizzo of the Daily Beast, “the People’s Convoy here in Hagerstown Maryland is much more organized then other trucker protests we have seen. At least 120 diesel trucks and hundreds of SUV/military-type vehicles/cars. They could easily shut down the Beltway in the morning.”
Similar planned convoys over the past week never materialized. On February 23, a convoy organized by Bob Bolus out of Pennsylvania was called off after less than ten vehicles participated.
