Zombies versus Climate Apocalypse by Manitoba Energy Justice Coalition
Winnipeg Zombies are rising up to march on banks that are financing fossil fuels and funding climate chaos. Dress up as a zombie or your favourite Halloween character.
Bring a “tombstone” that declares how what you love is being threatened.
We’ll march and chant. We’ll eat candy and meet new friends.
And we'll call on those big fossil banks to change their death-dealing ways.
