CHD and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Join Thousands on January 23 for the Defeat the Mandates Rally in Washington, DC

Press Release

For Immediate Release

Washington, DC, Jan. 20, 2022 — On Sunday, January 23, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will team up with organizations and individuals from around the country to protest all government mandates and celebrate the principles of freedom and liberty upon which our nation was founded. The march comes in response to nearly two years of increasing governmental overreach in the form of mandates at local, state and federal levels. Participants consist of people from all walks of life regardless of political affiliation, race, ideology or vaccination status.

According to “Defeat the Mandates” organizers, the goal of the march is to peacefully protest vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, COVID vaccines for children, and censorship. Participants will be marching in support of informed consent, natural immunity, and the doctor/patient relationship which should exist independent of government interference. Additionally, rally supporters will stress the need for greater government transparency regarding published peer reviewed COVID research which continues to be suppressed.

Attendees will gather at 10:30 a.m. at the Washington Monument and the march will begin at 11:30 a.m. ending at the Lincoln Memorial. The rally will then commence at approximately 12:30 p.m. at the Lincoln Memorial. Prominent anti-mandate, pro-science advocates are scheduled to address the crowd including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Del Bigtree, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, Steve Kirsch, Dr. Christina Parks, Dr. Paul Alexander, Dr. Richard Urso, Attorney Tricia Lindsay, Kevin Jenkins, Rev. Aaron Lewis, Rabbi Epstein, Tramell Johnson, Jo Rose (Jo Speaks Truth), Lara Logan, Angela Stanton King, Chris Martenson, Kwame Brown, Trahern Crews and more.

Musical performances will also be a part of the event featuring Jimmy Levy and Hi-Rez the rapper, Five Times August, and Matt Brevner.

In addition to objecting to COVID vaccine mandates on democratic principle, many are also expressing concern about the safety of these shots citing that as yet another reason to protest mandates. The latest data from the U.S. government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) reveals 1,012,249 adverse events following COVID vaccination including 21,745 deaths from mid-December, 2020 through January 7, 2022.

“The rise of tyranny can only be stopped if Americans rise up against it while they still have enough freedom left to do so,” said CHD president and general counsel Mary Holland. “We encourage all who can be in Washington on January 23rd to stand in peace and unity with us. Once governments take away the rights of individuals, they are nearly impossible to regain.”
