Inspired by the demonstrations that crippled Canada's cities for weeks, the protestors want an end to mask mandates and vaccination requirements.
Hundreds of truckers and their supporters gathered in southern California on Wednesday ahead of a planned convoy across the United States to protest against pandemic restrictions.
Inspired by the demonstrations that crippled Canada's cities for weeks, organizers of "The People's Convoy" want an end to mask mandates, vaccination requirements and business shut-downs that are intended to slow the march of COVID-19.
"Let's get back to normal," said Bryan Brase, whose rig was near the front of the caravan in the small town of Adelanto.
"I think everybody's here for different reasons, but it all boils down to the same thing: Freedom and liberty," said Shane Class, who had travelled from Idaho to join the rally.
