California truckers fed up with the federal government’s endless
emergency powers mandating masks and 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 city to demand
the Emergency Powers Act be lifted, ending the mandates, according to
Chris Marston, chairman of the American Foundation for Civil
Liberties, a non-profit that advocates for civil liberties issues and
is helping coordinate the trucker’s protest.

Though previous news reports stated the convoy wouldn’t depart
California until March 7, organizers now say the convoy will leave
earlier than planned.

“Freedoms can’t wait,” Marston told The Epoch Times.

The group said it is calling on the American people to join the “call
to freedom” in the spirit of “our brave and courageous neighbors to
the north—our Canadian brothers and sisters who led the charge.”

The Freedom Convoy in Canada has captured international attention the
last handful of weeks as hundreds of truckers have parked in protest
outside Parliament in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, demanding Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation and an end to mask and vaccine
mandates.

A map of the convoy’s expected route will be posted to the group’s
website, Maureen Steele, a The People’s Convoy organizer, said Feb. 16
on “War Room,” a streaming political talk show and podcast hosted by
former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon.

To ensure donations for the truckers won’t be frozen or routed to
other causes—a problem the Canadian truckers encountered with the
crowdsourcing platform GoFundMe—The People’s Convoy is taking
donations directly on their website.

Peter Navarro, Trump’s former economic adviser—and a regular on
Bannon’s show—praised Canadian truckers for leading the charge against
what he called government tyranny.

“They are like the Boston Tea Party. They’re the fountainhead of a
worldwide movement, which is basically on the right side of both
science and economics. And we have to thank those Canadian truckers,”
Navarro said.

Dr. Robert Malone, a virologist, immunologist, and inventor of mRNA
vaccines, who has been an outspoken critic of the federal government’s
handling of the pandemic and mandates, also suggested on the show that
Washington may soon see a new kind of “woke”—that supporters have
called an “awakening.”

“I think that the truckers, when they hit the Capitol, may well wake
up a large number of our representatives and senators that are kind of
a little bit asleep right now,” Malone said.

Joshua Yoder of the US Freedom Flyers, a recently formed group of
American air, rail, and trucking professionals who believe in “the
right to travel freely” regardless of one’s vaccination status, also
appeared on the show to support the U.S. convoy.

“These are Americans who want their voices to be heard. We’ve been
shut out for so long,” Yoder said. “There’s a lot of average people
coming together, uniting … This is people speaking out and voicing
their frustrations, and I think the government would do well to listen
to us. It’s been far too long,”

Leigh Dundas, a civil rights attorney based in Orange County and known
for her fight against vaccine passports in that county, told The Epoch
Times she has been working to unite truckers.

“I’ve been keeping the communication channels open between groups …
acting as a de facto clearing house between different truckers who
wanted to get connected … and do something similar, but also different
from what Canada did,” Dundas told The Epoch Times on Feb. 15.

Dundas said she is urging American truckers to keep the U.S. convoy
lawful and peaceful like their northern neighbors and to organize in
such a way to keep out any “infiltrators,” who could potentially
undermine their goal.

“They’ve done a lot of things right in Canada and we should be taking
their lead,” she said.

For those involved, they said they hope the planned American convoy
will be a turning point.

“For me personally, it’s about our freedoms as Americans,” trucker
Mike Landis said on a video posted on The People’s Convoy website.
“This isn’t just about us as truck drivers, or a certain group of
people or anything. It’s about Americans. … This is for the people.”

Greg Abdouch, who heads up a grassroots group opposed to mask mandates
for school children in Southern California’s Inland Empire, which
includes parts of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, said in an
interview with The Epoch Times that he’s in full support and thinks
other groups, like his, will be too.

Though he said he commends the Canadian truckers, he predicts it will
be “small potatoes” compared to what could happen in the United
States.

“I feel like this is the moment in time where we’re actually making
history,” he said. “I think you’re going to have soccer moms … getting
in their cars, slapping a flag on the back, and driving behind this
convoy,” he said.
