WASHINGTON (WJLA) — Organizers of the People's Convoy say they are headed back to Washington D.C., leaving from Idaho on May 5.
"When we left, you guys laughed at us," said a speaker at a convoy rally. "You made fun of us."

"Enough is enough. When we go back to DC, we are not the same convoy that went there the first time. We are not the same convoy that left there. We are coming back with teeth and a backbone!" he exclaimed to cheers.
The convoy camped out in Hagerstown, Maryland in March and traveled to D.C. almost daily for three weeks, protesting COVID-19 mandates.
The city used Metrobuses, dump and garbage trucks along with police resources to control traffic when the convoy would drive down into town.
The Convoy confirmed this plan with a post on its official Facebook page: "We encourage everyone in the surrounding area to join us at the speedway to create the second wave of the convoy to DC!!! Now is time! Stand up! Let your voices be heard! Enough is enough!"
