The People's Convoy trucker protest to pass through Danbury

A movement called The People’s Convoy is expected to pass through Danbury today.  The group of truckers and their supporters from all of the New England states are headed to Washington D.C. to protest pandemic restrictions.  The two Connecticut entry points are in Enfield, on Interstate 91, and Interstate 84 in Union, merging in Hartford. 

Among the stops, before their next overnight stay in New York, will by the I-84 Exit 1 commuter lot.  They plan to meet around 2pm, with trucks parking on the westbound on ramp. 

National Guard Troops will be deployed there to assist with traffic control during demonstrations over the coming days. Modeled after recent trucker protests in Canada, separate truck convoys have been planned through online forums with names like the People’s Convoy and the American Truckers Freedom Fund — all with different starting points, departure dates and routes. The U.S. convoys seek an immediate lifting of what they say are heavy-handed government pandemic restrictions like mask mandates and vaccine requirements.
