Protest convoy loops capital on D.C. Beltway

HAGERSTOWN, Md.—About two dozen semitrucks and 50 personal autos set out on a cross-country protest caravan from Adelanto, Calif., on Feb. 23. By the time the People’s Convoy arrived at the Hagerstown Speedway on Friday, the vehicles numbered more than 1,000. It took more than three hours for the trucks and cars to file onto the speedway grounds under an American flag hung from two cranes.

From Hagerstown, the convoy made its first trek to Washington, D.C. on Sunday, twice driving around the Capital Beltway that loops the city. Organizers said they would continue to drive at least one lap each day until lawmakers meet their demands, which include ending the COVID-19 state of emergency, removing all mask and vaccine mandates, and investigating health officials who promoted vaccines.
