The truckers goal is to rally against public health mandates and restrictions related to COVID. One of the organizers of the Midwest Freedom Rally, Trent Thevenot, told reporters that this is not an anti-vaccine rally but rather "this is about freedom of choice, personal choice." They are hoping to gain the attention of lawmakers across the nation as they make their way to the nation's capitol.

What is the end game for the Freedom Convoy? According to Bring Me The News, the two convoys are joining up with more truckers somewhere in Ohio. This large number of trucks will then roll into Washington, DC.
