2024. What the Hell happened?  This was the year that rushed up at us like a freak storm. This year, all the eco-systems were fully committed to the Sixth Extinction, and so are we. 2025. We awake from a deep sleep and change completely. Our bodies are ecosystems, too, knowing the Earth. This is a wild party we can't refuse.  Our clothes are tearing, and the wind is peeling away our walls.  We searched, but we found that our logical thinking was gone.  We must find our love.  Make the Earth's storm more wild?  Nothing can change without our love.

In this conversation Sheryl McCarthy talks to Reverend Billy and Savitri D, co-founders of the Church of Stop Shopping and the Earth Church. The Earth Church in New York's Lower East Side, combines performance art with activism. Initially a critique of consumerism, it now focuses on environmental justice, climate change, gentrification, and social issues. The church's services blend music, theater, and preaching to inspire direct action and community engagement. It also provides support to marginalized groups, including migrants, and promotes social change through local activism.

Tom Price co-founded Burners Without Borders, Black Rock Solar, and a company that gifts clean-burning kitchens to people in Kenya.Tom and Stuart talk about the weather, specifically hurricanes, and how Burners Without Borders started and persists in the face of extreme circumstances because Burners are extreme!Tom's tales of adventure include paperwork pranks and ad hoc Cajun catharsis. If Burning Man is a permission engine, giving people agency in their lives, he says that part of the lesson of Burning Man is finding out what is too much permission, then stepping back, and building aptitude to have agency, and responsibility for it. Note: The sponsor names joked about here are NOT sponsors of Burning Man, because Decommodification!Burners Without BordersBlack Rock SolarTom Price: Burning Man JournalBurning Man LIVE: Tom Price and the Benefactor's Dilemma (2022)Burning Man LIVE: Creative Solutions to Mass Destruction (2020)TEDx Black Rock City: Tom Price: Beyond Burning Man (2011)ecosafi.com LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir is a radical performance community based in New York City. They have led campaigns against Starbucks and Disney over the companies' gentrification of New York City, against Wall Street banks such as JPMorgan Chase over its funding of oil, gas and coal, and many street actions against politicians and other corporate actors. They merge theater, music, satire and direct action to speak truth to the all-powerful. This spring they have been touring with Neil Young and Crazy Horse. We talk with co-founders of the Church of Stop Shopping, Reverend Billy (@revbilly) and Savitri D. about Neil Young's Earth Love tour. ----------------------------------- Outro- "End of the World" by the Church of Stop Shopping.

Neil Young, Talking Stick Amphitheater, Phoenix, AZ, 4/27/2024RAGGED GLORYMaybe Neil Young isn't as spry as he used to be, but who is? At 78, to be playing hard core rock with the passion he displays isn't only a goddam miracle, it's a revelation.  And, just like young Micah Nelson, who filled in for Nils Lofgren (who's on tour with his other Sensei, Bruce Springsteen) to jam with Crazy Horse stalwarts Billy Talbot on bass and Ralph Molina on drums - demonstrates a generational melding that gives hope to us aging rockers. So, also when my son suggested that he and I fly to Phoenix to catch Neil's latest (I won't say last because who the fuck knows) tour, I gratefully accepted the familial love that was being offered.And, what a show it was! The opening act of Reverend Billy and the Church of the Stop Shopping Choir was a weird, trippy, and funk-fueled way to begin the evening.  But since combining positive energy against Climate Change with tornado-like rock and roll force is Neil's thing, it didn't surprise me that he recruited this legendary street performer to be his emissary. The early spring evening temp in Phoenix was perfect, and Neil was in a generous mood to give this fans what they craved - the golden oldies from Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, Zuma, and Rust Never Sleeps - with a short acoustic interlude playing Comes a Time and Heart of Gold (which everybody sang along to). It felt like a fucking campfire. And, looooong kick ass jams, which is what my son was craving. Down by the River and Cortez the Killer were at least 15 minutes each. And, what Neil may have lost in dexterity, he more than makes up for with heart-tugging, sonic crunching lyricism. For my money, he's one of the best rock guitarists who ever slung an axe. There are compensations to getting older; one of which is sharing your heroes with your children, and having them love them along with you.

Why do we mow our lawns? That's the question posed by our guest, artist and urban ecologist Chris Kennedy of the Urban Systems Lab and Central Texas Mycological Society; the answer is a tangle of municipal policy, attitudes toward property ownership, and status anxiety. Chris joins the pod to tell us about his research into city lawn ordinances and weed-control laws in the United States. In the City of Austin, having “grass and weeds more than 12 inches in height is considered an unsanitary condition and a code violation,” and many homeowners' associations mandate that turfgrass must comprise a minimum of 25% of a front yard, despite local water restrictions. We discuss how these strictures are rooted in redlining practices and fear of the natural world, how they stand in opposition to sustainable or regenerative landscaping practices, and what citizens here in town, and around the country, are doing about it. Mentioned in this episode: Austin's Tall Weeds and Grass Ordinance; the municipal code; a cringe video about weeds on the city's official YouTube page; “Rethinking The American Lawn” by Will McCarthy in Texas Monthly, about Lewisville, Texas;  “Weeding Out Bad Vegetation Ordinances” by Bret Rappaport and Bevin Horn; Sustainable Development Code; updates to codes to allow managed natural landscapes in Minneapolis, Austin; pushback from residents in Ontario and Chicago in 2018 and 2019; a sunflower citation in south Austin in 2021; complaints about how the city fails to follow its own rules; San Antonio DSA's Code Busters; Texas Senate Bill 198 “relating to restrictive covenants regulating drought-resistant landscaping or water-conserving natural turf;” Joan Nassauer's “Cues to Care”; and the “NYC Glyphosate Map” by Reverend Billy. Music: “Egypt” by Weldon Irvine and “Don't Forget Your Neighborhood” by Cola Boyy and Avalanches. Support The Horticulturati by joining our Patreon. Email us at info@horticulturati.com 

Reverend Billy & the Stop Shopping Choir come to Joe's Pub on May 7 & 14 at 4pm, JoesPub.com/tickets. It's three blocks from where Jordon Neely was murdered. The buskers, the doowop groups, the jugglers, Mariachi combo and rappers, and the Michael Jackson moon-walkers like Jordon Neely, killed by an ex-marine/son of a cop from Long Island. A light was extinguished, lighting up of the underground canyons of this city. Years ago, Mayor Guiliani shot, jailed or shipped out of town the characters that might be scary to the tourists in Times Square, making way for the Lion King era. But those weirdos will break through the wall of the monoculture with their unsanctioned song and dance, call them the Unknown.

Anne and Paul Ehrlich wrote: “Evidence points to the need for a quasi-religious transformation of cultural values.”                                                              Passover and Easter are liberation stories, from Egypt & from Rome; into the Promised Land & into the miracle of Life After Death. Christians & Jews celebrate control over the Earth, its storms & bodies of water & animals. An obedient natural world is the theatrical frame of Moses and Jesus. But that is the virtual reality of faith. In fact, of course, the Earth is in control & never more than now, as we careen into the Sixth Extinction. To believe in this planet-wide event is to have a new kind of faith. Earthalujah!

The founder of what is called The Church of Stop Shopping is hoping to expand that trend...and not just during the holiday season. This week on Challenge 2.0, we continue to explore the work of the man known as Reverend Billy...and why he believes our future is dependent on spending less, not more. 

Learn more about Paths to Understanding at https://www.PathsToUnderstanding.org Join the Paths Network at https://www.PathsNetwork.org Shopping malls have been called cathedrals of consumption...advertisers acolytes of excess. At no time is that more evident than during the Christmas season. Holiday spending drives 41% of Americans into debt. That behavior has many critics, but one man has made it his mission to convince us that the cost extends well beyond a single holiday season, well beyond our bank accounts. His work is the focus of this edition of Challenge 2.0-Reverend Billy, and the Church of Stop Shopping. 

**Cities After…will be taking a short hiatus. We'll be back with new episodes in September!** Continuing with Pt. 3 of Cities After…Summer Climate Change series, Prof. Robles-Durán talks to the world-renowned performance artist and activist William Tallen, famously known for his character Reverend Billy, described in a recent National Public Radio article as a Veteran anti-consumerist crusader taking aim at capitalism and climate change. Tallen and Robles-Durán discuss the destruction of NY's East River Park, the inseparable connection between art and the environment, the Sixth Extinction, greenwashing, and more. About our guest: William Tallen began performing as Reverend Billy on the sidewalk at Times Square in 1998 outside the Disney Store, where he proclaimed Mickey Mouse to be the anti-Christ, duct-taping Mickey Mouse to a cross. Reverend Billy's early sermons decried the evils of consumerism and the racism of sweatshop labor and what Talen saw as the loss of neighborhood spirit in Rudolph Giuliani's New York. According to William Tallen, the Reverend Billy character isn't so much a parody of a preacher as a preacher motif used to blur the lines between performance and religious experience. "It's definitely a church service," Talen explained to Alternet, but, he added, it's "a political rally, it's theater, it's all three, it's none of them." Alisa Solomon, the theater critic at the Village Voice said of Reverend Billy's persona, "The collar is fake, the calling is real." Along with the Church of Stop Shopping, a project directed by his life partner Savitri D, they have been referred to by academics as "performance activism," "carnivalesque protest," and "commercial disobedience." In addition to protest performances throughout a given year, Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping have organized various campaigns focused on consumerist and environmental issues, often highlighting a particular company they feel best symbolizes the issue. The group stages actions in public spaces near the targets of their actions, often in the lobbies, halls, and plazas in buildings owned by the companies they protest.  Since April 2020, Reverend Billy and Savitri D, have been hosting the EARTH RIOT podcast, which they describe as a comedy-infused, music-filled exploration of humanity's most urgent issue—the planet's Sixth Extinction. Made by "Earth-loving urban activists" from The Church of Stop Shopping, their podcast educates, inspires, and urges listeners to embrace reality and take action.

How do performance artists respond to political issues, advocate for social justice, and acknowledge discouraging news? How important is art in the effectiveness of social movements? Sina Basila Hickey reached out to Reverend Billy, a frequenter at the Sanctuary with his Stop Shopping Choir, to talk about his experience in performance art and its advocacy power.

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine: First Liz Moran of EarthJustice talks with Mark Dunlea about the denied air permit renewal for the Greenridge Generation cryptocurrency mining facility. Then, Reverend Billy talks about his political activism work with the Stop Shopping Choir and Earth Church. After that we get a wrap up of local arts events in the monthly Creative Economy segment with Moses Nagel and Corey Aldrich. Finally, Cathy Silber is joined by Mary Beth Honsinger, president of NAMI Capital Region.

"EARTH RIOT is a comedy-infused, music-filled exploration of humanity's most urgent issue - the planet's sixth extinction."In this episode of MetaPod, Wendy talks to radical performance artists Reverend Billy Talen and Savitri D about the EARTH RIOT podcast and their activism. The pair are known in New York City for their art combining performance and protest to raise issues about capitalism, corporate greed, consumerism, the environment and other social issues. Reverend Billy and Savitri D are the founders and fire behind the community of performance artists/activists known as The Church of Stop Shopping, which includes the Stop Shopping Choir. The community is active in New York City and there is also a Stop Shopping Choir based in London.EARTH RIOT with Reverend Billy and Savitri D is a podcast and radio programme that offers an entertaining and imaginative mash-up of environmental news and thought starters delivered with music, song and conviction.
