M19-21 Regional Convergence Against War in Pittsburgh <!--break--> M19-21 Regional Convergence Against War in Pittsburgh As part of a Global Day of Protest on the one-year anniversary of the War and Occupation of Iraq, the City of Pittsburgh will be the setting for a weekend long regional convergence against war. As a part of this convergence activists intend to begin a massive open-ended non-violent sit-in at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to protest its extensive ties to the military. CMU is currently designing and building the prototype of an unmanned scout tank dubbed “Gladiator- also known as Excalibur”. CMU is also responsible for approving ALL military related software and has become a major focus of the local peace movement. Activists believe the time has come to shift our direct action focus from things like unpermitted marches towards local institutions directly involved in the war machine.
