Burn down the current system of electing officials, as it won't fix anything. Most people can't disobey immoral orders, won't act unless it benefits them, and are jerks. The government won't change because it keeps them in power. Target corporations that support corrupt politicians by boycotting them collectively. Protests and letters to officials are ineffective. Hold corporations accountable for underpaying and mistreating workers. Demand warranties on products to prevent scams. By taking down big corporations, we can make a real impact and force change. If you agree, show support and offer to help.

The speaker describes a coordinated protest involving diverse tactics and groups to disrupt a specific area. Actions included blocking buses and intersections, veterans occupying archives, and a "march of the dead" causing delays. Other tactics involved grandmothers knitting, sticker distribution, and students staging flash dance parties with civil disobedience, such as locking down to desks. The model involved various groups choosing their tactics and scheduling actions across locations and time to maximize impact within a small area. The speaker suggests considering a similar approach.

Now is the time for teachers to get in the streets. Opportunities to do so are coming up on April 5 and May 1. Building power requires teachers, particularly white teachers with privilege, to get into the streets in ways they haven't before. This will show a willingness to do more to stop what is going on. Because this situation is unprecedented, bigger steps are needed. More teachers need to be out in the streets to slow this monster down.

Protests are ongoing in major US cities with limited media coverage. The movement won't stop before or after Election Day, so everyone should take note and not let up.

Silence won't save us; solidarity will. We are not afraid of America facing challenges; this is our moment to ignite change. We aim to unite everyone dissatisfied with Wall Street and establish a new communist party as a tool for the working class to challenge monopoly capitalism. Join our marches and stand with us. We refuse to remain passive and hope for better times in the next four years. Instead, we will confront every challenge and strive to make the U.S. ungovernable.

They won't stop, it's a movement. Before and after the election, they'll keep going. Everyone should take note and be aware that they will not let up, and we should not either.

On April 15, a global economic blockade in solidarity with Palestine will disrupt trade choke points in 30+ cities worldwide. The goal is to challenge the Zionist war machine and end the occupation. The movement aims to escalate actions beyond symbolism, inspired by Palestinian resilience. Cities like Melbourne, London, and Seattle will target economic hubs to maximize impact. Solidarity means expanding blockades in response to police repression. Visit a15action.com for more details on how to participate.

Tesla takedown isn't about physically removing Teslas. It's a campaign where anyone can organize actions targeting Tesla. The website, teslatakedown.com, provides background information. This movement taps into an anti-corporate, anti-billionaire sentiment. After the election, people wanted focused action. Since we're far from the government's center of power, and Elon Musk has taken on an outsized, even criminal, role nationally, targeting Tesla locally makes sense. His company, the source of his wealth, has a significant presence in the Seattle area. Ultimately, money talks. We and our partners have planned multiple actions at Tesla locations.

Tens of thousands are expected to rally nationwide, including in Downtown LA. The "hands off" protest at Pershing Square is one of over 1,000 demonstrations planned across the nation. Organizers claim that tariffs, layoffs, and the rising cost of living are pushing working Americans to the brink.

Tesla takedown is a campaign where anyone can post actions targeting Tesla on a map. The website is teslatakedown.com where you can find more information on the campaign. This movement taps into an anti-corporate, anti-billionaire sentiment. People want to do more than just protest and are looking for impactful actions. We realized we could target Elon Musk locally because his company, the source of his wealth, has locations in Seattle. Money talks, and we've planned actions at Tesla locations in the Seattle area.

Protests are still happening in major U.S. cities, but Speaker 0 is not seeing the same level of reporting as in the first few weeks. Speaker 1 asserts the protests are a movement and will not stop. Speaker 1 warns that the protests will continue before and after election day in November. Speaker 1 believes protestors should not let up, and neither should "we."

There are over 1,300 protests planned in all 50 states, expected to be the largest single day of protest since Donald Trump took office. Indivisible cofounder Ezra Levin says the response has been incredible, spurred by the Wisconsin election, Cory Booker's speech, and Donald Trump's global attack on economies. Levin notes there are over a hundred events in California, more than 60 in New York, and more than 50 in Washington, but also multiple events in states like Montana and Alaska. These events are organized by normal, everyday people. The overarching theme is "hands off," encompassing various issues. People are coming to this for different reasons, such as "hands off the Department of Education," "hands off our Social Security," and "hands off our trans kids." The idea is to unite and say no. It's a very big tent for anyone who dislikes what Donald Trump is doing.

First speaker: Has America ever engaged in a general strike? Like, that’s enough. We’re not showing up to work tomorrow? Second speaker: We’ve never had a general strike. But this Friday on January twenty-third, there is an ice out of Minnesota, day of action. It’s a shutdown day where people will be staying home from work, refusing to participate in economic activities. So a power and they’re calling on Americans across the country to show solidarity. First speaker: One of the problems with Minnesota right now is you have people like Kristi Noem or the people who are heading up ICE saying that it’s not nonviolent resistance. They’re saying someone like Renee Good was actually a threat to those people or that filming an ICE agent—or documenting, which is perfectly legal—is a form of threat, and therefore they justify using violence in return to the threat of violence from these people. What do you do when what your nonviolent action is perceived as violence by the people who can use violence against you? Second speaker: Declaring peaceful protesters violent or domestic terrorists or outside agitators is what autocrats all around the world do. That is their playbook, is to make people fearful and to try to undermine the legitimacy of protesters. So what are we seeing in Minneapolis right now? What have we seen in our history in this country? Think about the civil rights movement, profound state violence used against protesters. They prepared, they trained, they role played, they organized all to make that political violence backfire. Think of Selma, the peaceful march. So when peaceful disciplined protesters confronted the dogs, the hoses, the response—It revealed the cruelty when the disciplined protesters were faced with this form of violence. And so that’s how disciplined nonviolent resistance can make state violence repression backfire.

Protests are ongoing in the US, with limited media coverage. The movement won't stop before or after the November election. It's a warning for everyone to take note and not let up.

There are over 1,300 protests planned in all 50 states, expected to be the largest single day of protest since Donald Trump took office. According to Ezra Levin, cofounder of Indivisible, the response has been incredible. He says they didn't know they were gonna kick Elon Musk's butt all across the state, or that Cory Booker was gonna give this incredible speech inspiring all of us and telling us that he was taking a stand in response to pushes from his own constituents. He also didn't know that Donald Trump was gonna launch a global attack on economies. Levin claims this confluence of events is leading to an incredible response, with multiple events in every state. These are normal everyday people who are saying they've had enough and are going to do their part. The theme is "hands off," with different groups and individuals protesting various issues. People can say, hands off the Department of Education, Social Security, Medicaid, trans kids, communities, civil rights, and democracy.

We will stage a sit-in and occupy the streets to cause a major disruption. We cannot allow life to continue as usual.

Alice Hu, executive director of Planet Over Profit, discusses organizing protests at Tesla showrooms, which started with a few dozen people in Manhattan and have grown to hundreds, occurring across the country and in nine countries. Over 500 demonstrations have been hosted through their site, with potentially more unregistered. The next step is to organize 500 actions on March 29, including a peaceful demonstration at all 277 U.S. showrooms, requiring 223 more globally. This is to show Elon Musk that attempts to intimidate people from exercising their First Amendment rights will not stop them from fighting back against the gutting of the U.S. government and the cutting of critical social services. Those not near a showroom can protest at a supercharger station or a busy street corner. Details and tools are available at teslatakedown.com.

Speaker 0 emphasizes that the country runs because of working people, not for billionaires or politicians. Speaker 1 notes that when people come together, we can make our voices heard, and American history shows that when we move together, we win, we expand, we diversify, and today will be no different. It will take millions of us refusing business as usual to force this change. Speaker 0 announces: This May Day, we're calling for a worker over billionaires national day of action, showing solidarity with labor in our communities across our country and against fascism. Speaker 1 explains the tactic: No work, no school, no shopping. A simple idea with real economic impact. Refuse business as usual, and let's force a change. Speaker 2 frames the moment as a chance to harness collective power to disrupt an unjust system and regime who are racially profiling and attacking our immigrant communities, waging legal wars, devastating our environment, and seeking to destroy our democracy. Speaker 0 invites broad participation: Everyone has a part to play. Join us on May 1. Show up in your community, attend a rally or march, bring a friend. Speaker 1 reiterates the core principle: Change starts with people and grows when we act together. Because workers are the many and the billionaires are the few. Workers over billionaires. This Friday, May 1, we're gonna hit them with a pocketbook, which is the only thing they care about. Speaker 2 urges momentum: Let's make it count. Speaker 1 directs action: Check out the May Day map to find out how you can get involved in your community.

Out of 190 million Americans, imagine 40 million refusing to pay bills and demanding better conditions. The speaker advocates for collective action to negotiate with the government. Using Hollywood as an example, they highlight the power of unity. They emphasize the need for courage, collaboration, and planning to create change. The speaker urges a shift in mindset towards limitless possibilities and overcoming obstacles as lessons to learn from.

The transcript describes a live segment about an operation called “operation pull up,” described as clandestine and clandestine in nature, with the aim of disrupting business as usual by showing up somewhere locations where they are not expected. The host, Speaker 0, explains that although the operation may appear MAGA-coded due to the presence of many white people, there is a stated reason for this: “it's because of the the what they're the operation that they're doing today. It's important to have allies, as they said, white allies here.” The host notes turning the camera away from some participants because they are “giving some critical information here,” then signals that the team is ready to proceed. Nakima Levy Armstrong, identified as a civil rights attorney and longtime activist in the community, is introduced on the show. Armstrong is associated with Friday’s appearance on the program and is described as part of the movement’s leadership. The segment then defines the core tactic of the movement: “operation pull up, more of a clandestine operation. We show up somewhere location. They don't expect us to come there, and then we disrupt business as usual.” This explanation frames the operation as an intentional surprise tactic aimed at creating disruption at targeted sites. The group emphasizes their track record of success with previous demonstrations conducted under the same method. Specifically, they mention actions taken after George Floyd’s death, where they “went to the police federation head's, home and staged a demonstration there.” They also reference attention to federal law enforcement, noting they “went to the head of the US marshals from Minnesota after Winston Smith was killed by the US marshals.” Additional examples include action taken after Daunte Wright’s death, with a mention that this followed when AG Keith Ellis—presumably Keith Ellison—was involved, though the transcript cuts off before completing that description. Overall, the narrative centers on a strategic, surprise-based protest approach designed to create disruption at chosen targets, with a history of proactive demonstrations aimed at police and federal authorities following fatalities involving Black individuals. The speakers signal that the operation is ongoing and that more details will be observed as it unfolds live on the Don Lemon Show. The dialogue also underscores the organizers’ insistence on the value of diverse coalition support, noting the presence of white allies as part of the operation’s stated rationale.

There are over a hundred events in California, more than 60 in New York, and more than 50 in Washington, plus multiple events in states like Montana and Alaska. Levin says normal, everyday people are participating because they've seen institutions fail to support liberal democracy. The overarching theme is "hands off," but people are participating for different reasons, including hands off the Department of Education, Social Security, Medicaid, trans kids, communities, civil rights, and democracy. Levin says it's good that different things are bringing different people to this fight, and they can all come together and say no.

Momentum, and momentum is key to success. The third attribute of successful campaigns is they featured defections and loyalty shifts within key institutional pillars. Workers restricted their labor. Faith communities refused to allow their religion to be a tool of authoritarianism. Civil servants refused to carry out illegal orders. Businesses applied financial pressure. Security forces refused to obey orders to repress protesters. We're gonna talk through a lot of that tonight. Finally, successful movements have
