You have two Zombie Tolerant (or better!) candidates for mayor, plus other elections including a Supreme Court race that has become a referendum on Governor Walker (who is Anti-Zombie). I highly suggest voting tomorrow. Wisconsin has same-day registration, so there’s no real barrier. Find your polling place (use this site) and go there. Polls are [...]

This kind of speaks for itself, but what the hey: The Walking Dead Girls is a behind-the-scenes look into zombie culture in the United States and the obsession into “”Sexy Female Zombies””. What is it about Zombie Bimbos or “”Zimbies”” that are starting to gain the worlds interest? Why are zombies now in mainstream culture [...]

Here at the ZRC we think that the best way for Living people to come to accept Zombies is to see Zombies and their supporters helping out, doing good, or in yesterday’s case, peacefully assembling in public. Apparently the Anti-Zombie filmmakers, however, have something of the same idea about themselves: Gawid Entertainment has teamed up [...]

I really didn’t want to have to write this post. In the wake of our original reporting on the Zombie Walk Against Governor Walker, a ‘Citizen Journalism’ site covering the Madison protests decided to copy large portions of our text without attribution as part of a slightly longer piece on the Zombie Walk. In fact, [...]

Yesterday was a great day for Zombie Rights, what with the quite large and entirely peaceful and law-abiding Zombie Walk Against Governor Walker here in Madison. Even the Mainstream Media’s reporting on the event was largely positive: On Saturday afternoon, the protest movement against Gov. Scott Walker finally died, so to speak. A shuffling, groaning [...]

I think today demonstrates once and for all the link between talking about the Differently Animated and discussing politics, for today here in Madison we had a fascinating example of peaceful political activism – by the Differently Animated and their allies. Yes, it was the Zombie Walk Against Governor Walker, and the ZRC was there. [...]

We’re back, we had a great time, and there are lots of pictures. Here’s the flickr set from today’s event. I will be writing more comprehensive stuff after dinner; haven’t really eaten yet today. Starving.

Zombies are the trendy group to malign in today’s popular culture, but we have to remember that they’ve taken on this dubious and unfortunate distinction only in fairly recent history, after losing their formerly high ranking in the list of Acceptable Targets of Scorn that society seems to maintain in its collective unconscious in the [...]

Just a quick update to show you a shirt that for once we don’t have to condemn. I know, I know! Buy Zombie pointed us toward this very 80s metal album cover-esque Zombie Shadow Mage shirt: It’s not often that you hear about zombie ‘mages’ which is actually kind of surprising. The official description does [...]

When the ZRC goes to conventions I have to answer one question in particular a lot: if you’re with the Zombie Rights Campaign, why aren’t you a Zombie? I have a number of responses: ‘Why should only Zombies care about Zombie Rights? Do you have to be a member of an oppressed class to support [...]
