But Zombies Are Not Real?
Neither are Iraq's Weapon's of Mass Destruction, yet we got a war there.
Why are you politicizing Zombie Walks? We just want to have undead fun!
Zombie movies have always had progressive political and social satire in them. From the Voodoo zombie movies critiques of Imperialism, to George Romero's Dead movies and to Shaun of the Dead and 21 days later. Class, gender, and race conscious themes have appeared time and again, critical of the military, consumerism and other aspects of modern American life. We are continuing that tradition in a more pro-active way.
Are you parodying Right Wingers who attend Town Hall meetings?
We don't have to, they do that themselves.
How do I organize a Zombie Health Care Event?
Gather some friends who care about health care and/or are zombie movie fans, set a day and time, put on makeup, and show up. Make it some place relevant. A congresspersons office, a health insurance companies head quarters, a town hall hearing, a pro- or anti- health reform rally. Announce it on facebook, and/or the local newspapers before you go. Take pictures and video, post them online and follow up. Share. Invite more of your friends.
