‘People’s Convoy’ descends on Washington, DC, slows traffic on Beltway

Hundreds of trucks, RVs and cars descended on Washington, DC, Sunday, with the goal of shutting down traffic around the capital in protest of COVID-19 mandates.

The “People’s Convoy,” inspired by the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” that brought Ottawa to a standstill last month, finally reached DC after departing from California last week, growing in size as others joined along the way.

The stunt on Sunday failed to bring traffic to a complete standstill, but did slow it down at certain points.
