The ZRC has to take issue with the above graphic from Very Small Array on a number of levels. First, regardless of where you live, Zombies are not ‘coming to get you’. Quite frankly, the whole world doesn’t revolve around Living people, and Zombies don’t just exist to ‘get’ them. Zombies are a diverse lot [...]

We do some work here at the ZRC fundraising for breast cancer research via The Lurch for the Cure, as our loyal readers are no doubt aware, so seeing others also bring the Living and Undead together in the same cause is very nice: Be they zombies or ROTC members, nothing rallies the dead and [...]

I’m very happy to hear about all the great Zombie events in the Detroit area this month, some for charity, and very disappointed in the press coverage: Is a zombie apocalypse coming? Metro Detroiters might wonder as much over the coming weeks. Not only is today designated as World Zombie Day, but on Sunday, zombies [...]

For those who do not know, World Zombie Day is an annual event to coordinate Zombie Walks and similar events to collect food for the needy, and this year’s WZD is tomorrow: World Zombie Day, a day when all fans of zombie culture can join together in an international effort to alleviate world hunger. At [...]

I’ve hesitated to write this post about our ill-fated attendance at Geek.kon all week, despite interested parties, Zombie Allies and dear friends asking about it in the intervening time, because the ZRC is about positive change, working toward a brighter tomorrow for the Living and Undead alike. We don’t like burning bridges. But, as longtime [...]

(our booth over the weekend, exhibiting a slideshow of past activism) Sorry about getting this post up so late; we were beat and unpacking and all that today. Somehow despite being in town the convention was pretty exhausting! We had three long but festive days of outreach. The ZRC spent Saturday and Sunday all day [...]

This particular charitable Zombie Walk I’m not sure the ZRC could have gotten *entirely* behind since it doubled as a game launch event for notable Evil Anti-Zombie game ‘Dead Island’: Zombies aren’t usually known for being the most charitable or fun loving monsters, but come this Labor Day, a group of zombies will be just [...]

This time in Amherst, Ohio, and benefiting a food bank: AMHERST — A zombie walk Sept. 10, where people dress in full zombie makeup and walk like zombies in Amherst, will take place to collect food for the Second Harvest Food Bank. The zombie walk is for zombies of all ages and is family-friendly. See? [...]

Sorry I didn’t have time to update much today, it was *crazy* at the Kon. First of all, had some setup issues, then there was a huge traffic jam I got caught in running a forgotten bit of supplies there, etc. However, all in all it was a fantastic first day. (Our mostly set-up booth. [...]

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 [...]
