We at The Zombie Rights Campaign have long believed that Zombies should have, and must demand (peacefully of course) a place at the table when it comes to politics. Showing solidarity with their fellow Undead, Zombie Walks for particular causes, meetings with public officials and vote-seekers, all are appropriate methods for the Differently Animated to [...]

We received a comment here on the blog recently from an ‘animelover’ who seems to have trawled our archives back for months and discovered the post covering the ‘Zombie Walk Against Walker’, a prominent and highly successful bit of political activism by the Differently Animated here in Madison last spring. For the record, as we [...]

The ZRC’s twitter feed exploded yesterday with news of a controversial protest of enormously unpopular and markedly Anti-Zombie Governor Scott Walker yesterday. There were a lot of quite frankly hysterical accusations that the protesters, dressed up as Zombies, had ‘shouted down’ the governor at an event for the Special Olympics. Of course, nothing could be [...]

The protests here in Madison are back in full swing as a tent city of sorts has been approved and permitted by the City of Madison just across the street from the Capitol* dubbed Walkerville. Things are festive, people are in a good mood, and I went down to observe and take notes on a [...]

I’ve talked previously about how the Zombie Rights Movement could take inspiration, if not exactly tactical advice, from the world of comic book superheroes the ‘X-Men’. How perhaps the best method for those who are Different to change the minds of the general fearful mass of humanity might be to simply, and visibly, do good [...]

*snicker* Yes, I’m feeling a bit childish today, why do you ask?

I trust nobody’s going to mind much if I talk about Madison’s ongoing activities if there’s free stuff involved: Singer Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine has always been a strong supporter of working people. Morello was so inspired after taking part in a demonstration and headlining a concert in February for the protesters [...]

(One of my new favorite signs) For those who don’t like it when the ZRC blog covers Madison-area events not strictly about Zombies, you can skip this entry, and rest assured, Zombie news is coming quickly hereafter. I took a jaunt downtown to see the big motorcycle-themed protest ‘Thunda Around the Rotunda’ on Saturday, and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
