The planning for the Mayday action the demonstrations in Washington that occured from April 24 to May 2nd, and on into the next week thanks to Uncle Sam — started somewhere around 1940, or whenever Mahatma Ghandi began using his celebrated “nonviolent” civil disobedience as a tactic to gain liberation. Then people like Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez picked up on it in the U.S., and by the fall of 1970, a bunch of people who wanted to rip apart the Nixonian ruse about withdrawing troops while dropping millions of tons of bombs on Indochina decided that the idea was worth another shot. Mobilizing masses of people to take over Washington D.C. for a week or so and if Richard Nixon was gonna watch his color tv during THIS one, he sure wasn’t gonna see a football game.
