Daily News | ‘People’s Convoy’ protesters rally in Philly to demand more media coverage
Some 19 people stood in front of the Fox 29 offices on Market Street in Old City on Friday to demand more coverage of a small but ongoing trucker protest taking place outside Washington, D.C.
Organizers and supporters spent weeks planning routes to Washington and collecting donations for the truckers through social media, inspired by the Canadian protests that gridlocked Ottawa as truckers denounced a vaccine mandate for drivers crossing the border into the U.S. and back. Other national outlets, including the New York Times, have reported on the convoy. But Delaware County resident Diane Coughlan, who helped organize Friday’s rally in Philadelphia, said that’s not enough.
