text: @LadyRedMI and my personal experience with "The People's Convoy"https://thepeoplesconvoy.org/ 👆This is the only official donation location endorsed by the leadership and being over seen by Accountants and Lawyers.Michigan's APIII Involvement:We utilized our state zone map and assigned 1-2 zone leads (non-AP3 leads since we don't have that many Michigan AP3 members yet but they're passionate Patriots we are attempting to recruit) and we ended up collecting nearly a large semi trailer full of donations that arrives and unloads tonight. We also had a dump truck carry some of our additional donations down as well. Over $1,000 was donated to our drivers to transport the goods. Our Michigan drivers were completely volunteer based and paid for some expenses out of their own pocket.We have had at least one hot meal cooked for us each day by The People's Convoy organization and hot coffee in the mornings. Many packed their own food but they have many supplies to aid people here that are part of the Convoy or assisting it in any way.The convoys first 2-lap slow roll trip around the 64-mile I-495 DC Beltway took place today March 6th, 2022 with departure of 9-9:30 a.m. The People Convoy leadership have conducted Rallies and meetings to help facilitate organization of this Convoy throughout the days and have stated they are in this for the long haul. They communicated today was to show how big we are and to attempt to bring our elected officials to the negotiation table. They have lawyers involved to assist in these efforts. Leadership communicated they may do 3-laps tomorrow (but that has yet to be put in stone) they will have another meeting most likely in the a.m. after coffee hour to reconvene regarding the plans going forward.This is not just a weekend Convoy but rather a Convoy with a mission to open discussions and negotiations with our elected officials while also being cogniscient of the possibility of baiting/traps hence the DC Beltway route and not going directly into DC (that is not off the table but not the course of action at this time in this slow process movement according to leadership)There is another Convoy joining us tonight here at Hagerstown Speedway that is approx. 9 miles long and there are also other convoys that have plans that I am not completely aware of at the moment.We personally have had minimal issues with counter protesters from our first hand experience. We did assist in escorting some people out of the Speedway last night one including a lady with bow and arrows playing tribal music and acting suspiciously.We personally didn't witness any violent acts today against the Convoy but obviously are limited to our line of sight and our personal contacts. Most everyone has returned at this time to the Hagerstown Speedway in great spirits. They are rallying, fireworks and bonfires with peaceful family style festivities going on. We had an abundance of support along over passes and road ways while convoying. Of course there are going to be bumps in the road but to give them any extra attention gives them what they want and distracts from the mission at hand. We personally have not received any reports of any of our convoyers being harmed in any way but again we are limited to our contacts and line of sight but we are trying to provide the most detailed information that we have personally witnessed first hand.We plan on leaving to go back home late tomorrow morning and will continue to monitor the movement remotely and plan on saving up more funds to come back and support this movement further as it progresses and evolves if needed. ✝️ 🗽 🇺🇸 👌
