Reverend Billy for mayor of New York!

Posted on | March 22, 2009 | No Comments

Reverend Billy, of the advocacy group Church Of Life After Shopping (previously Church of Stop Shopping), has announced running for the position of mayer of New York City for the Green Party of the United States! While his chances are slimmer than zero, I can think of no New Yorker I would rather see sit in that chair – or at least have influence on the running of the city. With this campaign, I sincerely hope that Rev Billy, whom I’ve written several posts about in the past, will be able to gain even more exposure and hopefully influence many more New Yorkers into rethinking consumerism and gentrification – and into putting their money in local shops  rather than the big-box chain stores.
