The ANC called a nationwide stay-at-home and day of mourning after the 1 May killings and in opposition to the Suppression of Communism Act. The South African Indian Congress and African People's Organisation supported the action. Organisers linked state violence to laws that criminalised political organising and narrowed space for public opposition. June 26 became a recurring date in the liberation movement's political calendar.
