This highly-visible, good-natured gathering will be the talk of Westminster as up to 100 zombies campaign for equal rights for the living dead opposite the Houses of Parliament.



CURE's manifesto promises include:

· To permit the marriage of living and the undead

· To increase the minimum statutory retirement age to beyond death

· To make cemeteries more comfortable for their inhabitants



Everyone who attends will receive a limited edition, one-of-a-kind t-shirt celebrating this very special occasion, with the best-dressed zombie eligible to shuffle away - slowly - with a games console.



"This is a brilliant cause, and one which Capcom heartily endorses," says Leo Tan, Capcom. "As the leading publisher of zombie-related videogames, we feel very strongly that any hostile treatment they receive in our games is recognised as being entirely fictional - the undead are people too."



"It's going to be a great day to be undead," says Stacey Forsythe, spokesperson, Citizens for Undead Rights and Equality. "Our gathering will be loads of fun, and provide a real talking point in Westminster. We're hoping that the spectacle will bring smiles to those in the area on Bank Holiday - but also make people think about the undeadly serious issues which face zombies these days."



Due to licensing and security regulations, anyone hoping to attend MUST pre-register by, in the first instance, emailing votecure@googlemail.com. Further information will be sent by return.
