While the federal government continues to muddle through its ongoing shutdown, patriots across America are planning a shutdown of their own. As a planned trucker strike takes effect Friday, supporters of all stripes are encouraged to curtail any financial activity throughout the weekend.

Big rig drivers are already en route to the nation’s capital, where a protest of the government’s unconstitutional behavior will continue until Sunday. Many truckers unable to make the trek to Washington, D.C. are participating by keeping their rigs parked for the duration of the strike. The movement itself is known as “Truckers to Shut Down America,” and organizers expect as many as 30 million Americans will take part in what is being heralded as a Ride for the Constitution.

Along with semi-trailers, passenger vehicles can be a part of the strike with the addition of a badge or sticker bearing the abbreviation “T2SDA.”

Though the strike has encountered a few speed bumps along the way — including Facebook’s initial deletion of its page and misleading news coverage indicating that truckers plan to “arrest” legislators — organizers say the momentum at this point is unstoppable. A revamped social media page currently has more than 121,000 followers, and organizer Zeeda Andrews recently sat down with conservative heavyweight Glenn Beck to explain the strike’s mission to his audience.
