NEW YORK, NY - MAY 07: Anti-abortion activists pray while pro-choice
activists gather outside of a Catholic church in downtown Manhattan to
voice their support for a woman’s right to choose on May 07, 2022 in New
York City. The protests at the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral,
which have been occurring weekly and where a small number of
anti-abortion activists worship, have been given added urgency by the
recent leaked Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade. (Photo by Stephanie

After more than a week of driving from California, the truckers of the Canadian inspired protest arrived at a Speedway parking lot in Hagerstown, MD.

On the eve of March 5, the crowd filled the bleachers of the
speedway, waving flags and holding signs saying “Lord bless the truckers.” The truckers offered hope of a new MAGA revival and the people hung onto every word from the leaders who had brought them on this long improbable journey. 

This was it—the moment they would finally be given marching orders from above.

That…did not happen.
