Jersey Shore Blue Tesla Takedown Rally
On March 29, 2025, Jersey Shore Blue launched its Tesla Takedown campaign with a high-visibility protest outside the Tesla dealership in Eatontown, New Jersey. This marked the beginning of a broader grassroots push to challenge the political influence of billionaire elites — particularly Elon Musk, whose alignment with far-right ideologies and support of Donald Trump has drawn increasing concern from pro-democracy groups nationwide.
