What should we name the Wave for May Day?

OA Occupy Anonymous Public Seen by 31

The heart of Wave tech is it's hashtag.

Like #OccupyWallSt birthed the #Occupy tactic, call to action & community the Wave Of Action bears similar fruit

The World Wide Wave of Transformation introduced a new dynamic tactic that mixes grassroots campaign mobilization with a little flavor taken from the old world and it's love of large scale, regular community celebrations with the #WaveOfAction Day Of Action on April 4th.

The Wave of Action which hit on April 4th brought together new & old community members was 3 months in the making.

In NYC it was suggested in the spontaneous assembly facilitated by Echo, Harrison & several others at 60 Wall St on 4.4.14 that we attempt a SHORTER wave cycle for the May Day celebrations.

To make this work we need a May Day Wave Hash Tag that can function in the same way.

Are there any suggestions for a name?

Please suggest a SINGLE #hashtag that can be broken down well.

An effective one will need no explanation.

The boring & obvious one i can't shake but not sure i like is:

#MDayWave #MDW

The only twist in there is that the M can be both:
Movement & May Day.

Outcome

We agreed we should have discussed consensus threshold, but aside from Mary/Luca's thumb down the reaction looks mostly good.

Keeping it simple is a proven tactic.

Let's use the name #MayDayWave as the global coordination hashtag for the events culminating on May First.

#MayDayWave -> #MDayWave -> #MDV

I would prefer something different but I am fine with choice.
