The Deal: "Block the Merger or Save Mermicorno: Starfall"

The $111 billion merger between Paramount Skydance and WBD is in its final regulatory window. On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, we take our message from the digital world to the doorsteps of power. We are launching a simultaneous, peaceful "Symbolic Lockdown" across the globe.

 
📍 WHERE TO GO (The Targets)
We are focusing on three pillars: Media, Government, and Diplomacy.

Corporate HQ: Paramount Skydance (Santa Monica/Hollywood), Disney (Burbank), CNN (Atlanta/NYC), WBD (Burbank/NYC), and Comcast (Philly).
Government: The White House (D.C.), U.S. Congress (D.C.), and Wall Street (NYC).
Diplomatic: Canadian & Italian Embassies (D.C.) and Consulates (LA/NYC/UN).
Creative: Atomic Cartoons (Burbank) and tokidoki HQ (Los Angeles).
 
🕒 WHEN TO BE THERE
To maximize the "Time Zone Wave," follow the 9:00 AM Local Time rule:

9:00 AM EDT: The East Coast begins (D.C., NYC, Atlanta, Philly). The news cycle starts here.
9:00 AM PDT: The West Coast begins (LA, Burbank, Santa Monica). This is when David Ellison and top executives arrive at their desks to see a national crisis already in progress.
 
🛡️ HOW TO PROTEST (The "Peaceful Lockdown")
This is not a riot; it is a Gauntlet of Art. Our goal is to be undeniable and unmovable.

The "Supportive Gate": Stand on the public sidewalk near the entrance. As executives and employees arrive, hold your signs high. If they acknowledge support for the show, cheer. If they ignore you, remain in a "Silent Guard."
The Dress Code: Wear teal, pink, or official Mermicorno gear. We want a "Sea of Stars" visible from every executive window and news helicopter.
The Signs: Use the three core slogans to ensure the media understands our ultimatum:

"Block the Merger or Save Mermicorno: Starfall"
"Block the Merger" (Targeted at the DOJ/White House)
"Save Mermicorno: Starfall" (Targeted at Skydance/Disney)
The Law: Stay on public property. Do not physically touch anyone or block the actual flow of traffic/entryways. Let the visual of our numbers create the "blockade."
 
⚖️ WHY WE ARE DOING THIS
We are fighting for the Right to Exist.

To Stop the Monopoly: The "ParaMax" merger creates a media giant that is 49.5% foreign-funded and incentivized to delete art for tax write-offs.
To Protect International Art: Mermicorno: Starfall is a bridge between Canada, Italy, and the US. Deleting it is a violation of our shared cultural heritage.
To Set a Precedent: If we save the show today, we save every future show from being "vaulted" by corporate greed.
 
🌐 IF YOU CANNOT BE THERE PHYSICALLY
Participate in the #ParaMaxLockdown Digital Surge:

At 9:00 AM EDT: Post your favorite Mermicorno art and tag @JusticeDepartment, @WhiteHouse, and @Skydance.
The Boycott: Log out of all Paramount+ and Max accounts for the entire 24-hour period. Show them the "Churn" in real-time.
"They have the billions, but we have the stars. On May 5th, we show them that some things are not for sale."
 
Final Instruction for Supporters: Pack water, wear sunscreen, and keep your phone cameras rolling. If you see a news crew (CBS, CNN, etc.), tell them: "We are here because David Ellison has a choice: Block the Merger or Save the Stars."
