The People's Convoy is a copycat group, originating an California and attempting to a similar protest at Washington DC. Again, they protest mandates that are largely removed, but this time there were much less organized.[1]

On March 6, they arrived near Washington DC, driving slow laps on the Beltway surrounding the city. The only result was slowing traffic rather than bringing it to a standstill. Their demands was to continue driving in a way that congests traffic, until they met with lawmakers concerning their demands - they met with Republican senators Ron Johnson, and Ted Cruz[2].

This convoy preferred taking law into their own hands, such as boxing in commuters [3][4] or assaulting other commuters.[5] When they ended up peeing themselves in traffic, their thought is to also perform a citizen's arrests of officials.[6]

On March 16, they were denied a permit to camp at the National Mall. [7]

Some members of the convoy are obsessed with honking that they don't pay attention to what's going on around them. [8]

They are mired down with antifa-paranoia, where practically everyone who isn't in the convoy is considered to be an anti-fascist. [9] [10]

As with the convoy occupations in Ottawa and other cities, they are unpopular with the residents. [11] They weren't thrilled by the reactions of other drivers giving them the finger, a complete opposite of their own expectations. [12][13]

On March 21, they were held up by a single bicyclist.[14]
