Zombie Walks are springing up all over the place! Many are attached to other worthy causes too, like our recent Madison walk, or this upcoming one in Ohio: Looking for something to do Saturday May 14th at 5:00 p.m? Wanna help feed the poor in a fun and creative way? Well, in Columbus, Ohio, you [...]

Our coverage of Harcos Labs (as seen here, here and here) seems to have struck a nerve, as they’ve resorted to the last refuge of all cruel tyrants, the brutal oppression of innocent civilians: In response to @Zombie_Rights boycotting of @harcoslabs, Harcos is boycotting zombie rights. #itssadwhen intolerance leads to intolerance. (Harcos Labs) @harcoslabs How, [...]

We had a great time at last year’s event so you know the ZRC will be there this time: It’s that time again, zombies! We are having another zombie march on June 11 from 3-6pm. The rules are very simple: dress and be made up as a zombie and just shamble and act like one. [...]

I have to preface this by stating that, much as is the case in the Living Community, within the Zombie Community there are a variety of opinions on all sorts of topics. Therefore the ZRC may not always agree with strong and articulate voices from our Undead fellow travelers, but we feel it incumbent upon [...]

A response to this post at The Zombie Feed. What is it that makes an author write a story attacking the Differently Animated? Sure, there’s the monetary angle, the fact that Anti-Zombie fiction is hot now and therefore it’s easier to get published, and the nasty anti-social tendencies of writers in general. (I know from [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign was, as previously noted here on the blog, very pleased to have two Zombie Tolerant mayoral candidates in the Madison election. Well, on Tuesday night, after a very close contest, Paul Soglin won the election: Maybe he is mayor for life. In a scenario unlikely only a few months ago, former [...]

Today the ZRC got a surprise via Twitter and Facebook: Harcos Labs, infamous makers of ‘Zombie Blood’ and ‘Zombie Jerky’ snack products, also known for their Anti-Zombie propaganda videos, had decided to issue a response to our critique of their Youtube campaign. Harcos: Harcos Labs Responds to Zombie Rights Campaign’s Accusation Zombie-friendly laboratory discusses newest [...]

A story where peoples’ hearts are in the right place, I suppose, but a bit of education could be in order: Scores of the rotting undead shambled out from the newly blossoming trees of Columbia Park in Kennewick sometime after 3:30 p.m., spattered with blood and hungering for human flesh. They moaned a chilling cry [...]

Depressingly, the variety of Anti-Zombie videogames just seems to keep increasing at a steady clip. Perhaps tiring of the Zombie Apocalypse theme, Anti-Zom developers are branching out: There’s no denying it. Zombie games make money. No one has anything against a good zombie game really, it’s just that there’s a lot of them. So we [...]

The Zombie Walk Against Governor Walker (which the ZRC of course attended) has been getting lots of press, and surprisingly, a few stereotypical ‘Zombie’ jokes aside, it’s mostly positive! From AMERICAblog: It seems more zombies turned out in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend than Teabaggers turned out in DC last week. Yeah, that’s right — zombies [...]
