Far-right groups plan anti-vaccine mandate “trucker” protest in the U.S.

Fueled by the anti-vaccine mandate trucker protest in Canada, online organizers are planning similar protests in the U.S. The protests are being rebranded as “the People’s Convoy” and are planned to take place in California and Washington, D.C. next month. Several far-right extremist groups have seized on the momentum and media coverage of the Canadian protests to try to replicate the disruption in the U.S. In Canada, the protests are being led by fringe groups, who are not representative of popular opinions about vaccine mandates. Online groups across multiple social media platforms promoting the U.S. protests are a hotbed of vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories.
