The messages and how it's all related

Species need, NOT zombie greed.

By "Species need", we mean all life, not just humanity. And by "NOT zombie greed", we mean the rigged economic system / big corporations and banksters.

Faced with the systemic corruption of global politics and economics; the ecocidal / suicidal mentalities of growth / consumerism; deadly fossil fuel-based, greenhouse gas-intensive energy addiction; and the resource wars and global inequity that all of this perpetuates...

Mass, peaceful, public assemblies / protests rooted in the critical efforts necessary to learn about, nurture, strengthen and maximize solidarity, and the courage to engage in peaceful civil disobedience / direct action on a grand scale -- together -- are imperative.

Slogans/captions: Here's what we came up with -- See them in action in the slideshow above!

Systemic corruption = climatic disruption, ecological destruction
Revolution, NOT pollution
Brains over profit
CRIMES of consumption
SPECIES need, NOT zombie GREED
Banks bailed out, Earth SOLD OUT
Dismember 'business as usual'
One day the poor will have nothing to eat but the rich
Occupy love

And here's a few we wanted to use, but couldn't nail the Halloween/zombie theme:

Climate justice, Indigenous Sovereignty, NOT poverty, wars, inequality
Climate EMERGENCY, where's the urgency?
System change, NOT climate change
Climate of change, NOT climate change
