The time has come for the living to rise…

The smell of death is all around us… look beyond the government rhetoric and media lies and you’ll see a harrowing vision of our modern-day world where the walking dead roam to kill in the deserts of Iraq and roam to feed and multiply as they recruit in the schools of Pittsburgh. All the while the “living dead” try to lead normal lives behind self-made walls of ignorance and fear. A new society is being built by a handful of enterprising, ruthless opportunists who loot and hoard the riches of the world inside their skyscrapers, high above the violence they direct and incite below. But inside and outside the city walls, anarchy is on the rise. The truly alive are fighting back, against the death surrounding them. On August 20, with the very survival of our world at stake, the last of the living are the free thinkers and free spirits of all types; anti-war individuals, anarchists, radicals, artists, and progressives are being called into action to protect our town, and the world from the armies of the dead…

On August 20, anti-war activists in Pittsburgh are calling for a day of action to shutdown military recruitment in the city. In full support of this goal we are calling for a zombie contingent to join the march. The dead shall confront death. We need your participation; paint your faces, wear all black or camo or mourning shrouds, hollow your eyes, drip your blood, bear your teeth, wear your gore. Time to let recruiters know there are already too many dead, too many suffering, and too many lies. Our brains are not for eating!

Also welcome to help defend the steelcity from Bush's armies of the dead: flags, banners, zombie bikes, coffins, and street theatre.
