Movement for vaccine mandate protest convoy to Washington, D.C., gaining steam on social media

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A group of American truckers dubbed “Convoy to DC 2022” is gaining membership on Facebook, following thousands of truckers who are protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates north of the border in Canada.

The group’s Facebook site says it is “part of many large groups who believe in our founding fathers. We believe everyone has a voice. We support our freedom. Help us spread the word about this group and together we all can make it a better place. God Bless America.”

So far, more than 94,500 people have joined “Convoy to DC” on Facebook.

Like their Canadian brothers and sisters up north, those involved in the budding American protest say they are against current vaccine mandates that require truckers to show proof of vaccination in order to cross the border between the U.S. and Canada and vice versa.

Jeremy Johnson, who is listed as an admin on the Facebook page and is also the host of his own popular Facebook page “The Disrespected Trucker,” announced in a video posted to the “Convoy to DC” page on Sunday that the “March to Freedom” convoy would roll out on March 1. He said that further details will be forthcoming.

“When is this starting and who do I need to contact,” “Convoy to DC” member Robert MacEwen wrote on the group’s Facebook page. “I am a owner operator of a log truck here in (Washington) state and I have plenty that would be willing to join. Thanks.”

Debra Bass posted: “Truckers are convoying all over the world all over the world and we’re going to have a convoy to DC from California to DC and from Canada they’re going to join us people are going to join us from all over the world God bless America God bless the truckers God bless every trucker that’s out there fighting for us the people that’s what the government supposed to be for but they’re not so we count on our truckers to fight for us.”

Mark Feenstra wrote simply, “When and where do we start?”

“I lost my job as a nurse!” Cassie Springer wrote. “Thankfully we own a trucking company that I can work for. Let’s head to DC and stop this crap!”

LOVE YOUR RESPONSE!!!!!!!! YOU’RE A TRUE PATRIOT! GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET’S FIGHT BACK!!! EVEN CARS SHOULD JOIN IN. THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THEM. WE CAN ALL FIGHT AGAINST THIS TYRRANY!11 LOVE ALL YOU TRUCKERS!!!!SAVE THE CHILDREN/ TAKE BACK OUR FREEDOMS NOW!!!!!!!

Why are US truckers in northern states not flocking to the US side of these border crossings with Canada right now to show support for Canadian truckers? It is a critical time and the pressure is on. I am ashamed American truckers are not doing anything while this is happening up north. Sitting back and “planning” for a future event while there is a hot fight going on right now seems like a lost opportunity. Your counterparts are about to get punished and squeezed by the authorities and you guys are biding your time. Sucks you dont have their back when they need you…if only for the added pressure on government goons going after them.

If the DC convoy organizers use Gofundme they are MORONS! GiveSendGo is the crowdfunding site that will not seize the funds like Gof*chme will. Learn from the Canadian truckers. And for God sakes some of you guys get up there and help them from our side of the border. WTF?

Yes! I work at diesel repair shop in Oregon and know how many would join in here. We are stronger together so let’s show them what real, free Americans can do.

Hey FB has shut the page down for the LA to DC Convoy. Go to RUMBLE. They damn sure won’t shut you down. Conservative commentators will share it with everybody. News Max, Fox News, Mark Kaye has a nationwide affiliates. He is located in Jacksonville Fla.

Since FB censored them and shut down their page, how do we follow them? My daddy was a long haul trucker for many years, plus he performed ministerial concerts in many truck stops across the nation, so he would be really proud of the truckers standing up as Knights of the Road; if he were alive today, I’m sure he would roll with ya’ll. Daddy’s name was Kenny Robbins aka “Dreamer” and wrote the song “No Scales in Heaven” for those of you who may remember him.

Rumble won’t shut you guys down. Let’s hurt Facebook by logging out and all involved going to Rumble. Dan Bongino and others invested in Rumble because of FB, Twitter, TicTik, You Tube we’re silencing Conservatives. I know they will let y’all spread the news.

This is not the first time our government has tried to silence the trucking community. Some will remember when they considered outlawing cb radios. As a member of the family since 1975 I applaud the courage being shown. Remember there IS strength in numbers!!! Please stand up and make your voice heard.

Let’s go when and where do we need to be. Me n my husband drive cross country. Let’s stand for our freedom. God bless all the truckers.

Is there a map for stops to provide snacks, supplies, or food for our truckers? I reside in SC outside of CHarlotte, NC. Thank you

Way to go everyone even our liein, liberal, lunatic democratic government can’t egnor the truckers, Triple , L D’s. I’m right with u. Are u go nna have merchandise flags, signs want to buy. Pierre Pennsylvania

I’m in Tulsa OK. I want to join your group. I’m not on Facebook. What do I need to do. I can be a relief driver too

What about all the truckers and pilot cars in the northwest – Washington? Make a run to CA or a run east from WA?? Probably need a run on Facebook and Twitter facilities. Stop making deliveries to them! They censored us, so we can censor them!

Dearest Truckers, you are standing up for my children. They are my life. Thank you. Hold the line. Please don’t stop. Keep it peaceful. Always. March 1st! I’ll be looking out!

I’m in Tulsa OK
Not on Facebook but want to join convoy to DC. I want to end these mandates
What do I need to do? What highway are you traveling on? When do you plan to be in DC?

Facebook took down all Convoy to DC groups. WE, The People, are being kept apart. Communication being severed from social media sites. WAKE UP AMERICA!

We are two old Air Force veterans with a RAM Cummins truck and an Airstream trailer. We are in. Where and when do we start?

I did find some info. Gofundme is a communist organization so don’t give there because they are threatening to withhold the funding. Give at GiveSendGo.com. The best one that I found was here: https://givesendgo.com/Freedomconvoyusa

No truck here, but willing and ready to help/support in any way that I can.. Thank all of You, truckers, for all that you do for this nation.. please know that we have your backs!!

-We The People

Please let us know how to support and find information since FB did what is their norm when it comes to freedom

It is very telling that truckers can organize because they can communicate with each other without censorship. Where can all citizens do the same. We need a way to speak without being censored

Does anyone have information on how to get involved with USA freedom truckers and support them monetarily and physically? Mandates do not go hand in hand with democracy no matter what any authoritarian leader or the sheep that follow them say. Time to take back our country from the powers that want to enslave us even more.

The double standard on popular social media has to end. FB and twitter allow rioters and terrorists over freedom marches like this. People on both sides of the fence need to understand how dangerous this is when unregulated companies control your voice. You can vote against this by becoming silent on their platforms. I did.

Don’t know where to send this since the Convoy to DC facebook page is down but if someone can send this to Brian Brase or one of the other of the Convoy founders, Tarot by Janine did a reading on the US trucker convoy. It’s worth listening to her reading she did for Canada and for the US and Australia. .youtube.com/watch?v=5gXkaLKBMYI Tarot by Janine on Trucker Freedom update. First of all the white house is vacant. Is anyone in DC and do they know if Congress is meeting there are from home.? The Supreme Court are they in session. Find out before you go. She said the US convoy would hit several different cities. Ottawa is the sitting govt in Canada. She makes the point that if you go to a busy city you will have a bigger impact.
Also Canada had a lot of legal preparation and you may need that in the US. I would talk to the Canadian organizers first before you do the DC trucker rally

there is a website you can email the police up in canada. we have been calling and everything is shout down power wise so no cell phones cb radios anything that will interfere is shut down.

All us truckers make sure you have alot of fuel for your trucks and hide them so they cant take steal it from you. Its sad that these truckers who have family with them in canada are freezing to death because the canadian police have take everything from them. we need prayers for everyone who is involved with the trucking convoy. I stand with ya and will support you all the way.

Is anyone able to forward this to Jeremy Johnson.

I just want to remind him, and anyone joining this heroic movement, that this is about far more than COVID, regardless of original intent, posited protocols, or limitations.

I think we can all agree, this will evolve very precipitously, and I just want to be sure truckers are prepared.

We’ve seen what Trudeau is attempting, and I can assure you Brandon will throw further caution to the wind.

People should bring lots of provisions and fuel, etc.

See you there –

These people are a bunch of typhoid Marys who don’t care about anyone but themselves. Next they’ll want to ensure that people who lack sufficient eyesight be able to drive interstate trucks across borders.

You can use your freedom to be alone in your disease vector existence. But the minute you impose it on anyone else, you are deserving of pushback. Get a life — and not one that infects other people so you can feel like a powerful cuss. You are not. You are only a wuss!

Please take this to heart, those who are running this convoy. First, you have infiltrators who will try to get you to break the law. They will be among you to incite you.
Second, do not block the beltway or break the law in anyway because that will give the government an excuse to declare martial law and call you insurgents. I CAN’T EMPHASIS THIS ENOUGH – IT WILL GIVE THE GOVERNMENT AN EXCUSE FOR MORE TYRANNY, SO DON’T BREAK THE LAW! SHOW UP AND PARADE AS YOU WISH, BUT DON’T GIVE THEM AN EXCUSE TO USE TYRANNY, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT! THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REASON AND HAVE PLANTED PEOPLE AMONG YOU TO INCITE YOU.

I’m supporting this initiative, but ask you all to make consideration for emergency services and allow them to transport those in need efficiently to and from the hospitals.

It’s about Freedom, and as part of that Freedom we need to insure that Minorities ( Feminists, LGBT & BLM) continue to hold our nation hostage, and free us from the Yoke of the Woke.

In the last 14 months of Biden and his administration being in power , we have seen only catastrophic failures and Biden’s weakness is allowing Crazed Tyrants to destroy Freedom, and in fact Democrats want to take our Freedom.

In light of these truths we can now understand the storming of the capital, it failed , so we must try again and this time smart! MAGA!

Hate to break it to you but this will have minimum impact. The majority of the government offices are teleworking AND IF I had to I will use METRO to get to work. The Capitol has it’s own rail system

From what I’ve seen there’s not enough truckers to make a dent in beltway traffic AND Trucks cannot travel in the inside lane. Arriving on 5 March is a SATURDAY.

You are hollering about mask mandates, need I remind you that more than half of the shutdown occurred under Former Pres. Trup.

Hey Truckers! Stop your whining. There are more important problems in the world to deal with now. Americans having to put up with your childish temper tantrums isn’t high on the priority list. You don’t like covid mandates? Move to Ukraine!
