Eight-mile-long People's Convoy raises more than $850,000 in donations - nearly doubling its funds in ONE day - as it continues on 11-day journey to DC to protest Covid mandates even though US is starting to roll them back

The People's Convoy, which has raised nearly $1 million in donations, flooded a New Mexico highway Friday as the scores of truckers protesting COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates entered day three of their cross-country trip to Washington, D.C.

A photograph taken by convoy leader Mike Landis shows the group, comprised of approximately two dozen semi-trucks and about 100 other vehicles, traveling eastbound on I-40, about 15 miles west Albuquerque near the Route 66 Casino, in a motorcade that the convoy said spans eight miles.

The People's Convoy, inspired by Canada's Freedom Convoy protest, raised more than $855,000 in monetary donations as of Friday, according to the protest's website - nearly double the amount it reported Thursday. Vendors along the route have also donated gas, food and other essentials to the cavalcade.

Hopefully the donations can be secured and not blocked by some service.

I see this as a no-lose situation for the convoy.

Brandon is already rolling back restrictions, so whatever happens they can claim victory.

The tax mandates are falling in court in many places and again there is lots of room for a claim of victory.

The only thing the truckers have to do is not screw up traffic for too many people and they will be heroes.

Leftarda shouldnt have stopped at puncturing tires like day 1.

I was just wondering, if the government tried to steal their money yet?

If the commie lead fake news media would just mention this in the national news my gut feeling is this convoy would be probably 10 times as long then it is now and then it would be very hard for the commie fake news to not report on it.

It is sad we got to read about this from a Brit news source.

Makes me question if I am missing something for supporting the truckers like am I some kind of criminal but in 62 years all I ever had was a fix it ticket on an old truck I had when I was 16. It pains me to see the harsh treatment these good people are receiving,

They did block a road I heard. That is illegal. Though the crime clearly doesn't fit the punishment.
