May Day SMASH is a resistance initiative to:
- Get all resistance groups to adopt May 1, 2025 as a day of action and coordinate with each other to maximize media and other impact.
- Get all resistance groups to adopt phrases such as “Separate Musk And State” and/or “SMASH the Coup” as themes for the May Day action to indicate their focus on toppling the first two dominoes: Tesla and Elon Musk. Resistance groups should advertise the theme via all media channels. Such theming is additive not exclusive, meaning that this theme is added to existing demands/themes that a resistance group is pursuing.
May Day SMASH will contact at least the following types of resistance groups:
- May Day Committees in cities across the US that organize annual May Day marches
- Protest groups like 50501, Indivisible, Women’s march and others that signed on to the “Hands Off” April 5 day of action
- Labor Unions (Teachers, SEIU and all AFL-CIO affiliates)
- Legalization for All (L4A) network that is calling for this May Day to be “A day without immigrants”
Desired outcomes from May Day SMASH include:
- Get national media headlines after May Day similar to “Millions march on May Day to Separate Musk And State”
- Convince AFL-CIO and Unions that the people at large back them against DOGE and Musk, and that they should be confident in initiating stronger actions against DOGE and Musk.
