No truckers today in DC; "People's Convoy" intends to convene a meeting tomorrow morning at 8am to determine strategy, but they recommended participants extend hotels to stay into Maryland until Monday.

So likely no relevant activity in DC until at least after the weekend.

In a speech completing the evening, an organizer tells the group to be "patient."

Many had expected to head to DC by tonight, but he say a meeting will be convened at 8am tomorrow to determine a "diplomatic" strategy to approaching the city.
