Reverend Billy is an anti-corporate activist who takes the role of a revivalist minister with his Church of Life After Shopping. The Reverend and his gospel choir exhort consumers to abandon the products of large corporations and mass media. He also preaches a broader message of economic justice, environmental protection, and anti-militarism, protesting sweatshops and illegal and unnecessary wars. He is currently involved in a successful campaign to shame Wall Street banks into defunding coal companies involved in mountaintop removal.
Also joining us today is the Director and Choreographer of the Church of Life After Shopping, Savitri D.
Taking listeners deep into the underlying issues and forces that shape our world.
