\"Rev_<\/a>Publishing Party for The Earth Wants You <\/em>by Reverend Billy Talen
\n<\/strong>When: Wednesday, May 18, 7:00pm

\nReverend Billy comes to us from New York City, and from recently touring with the choir from the Church of Stop Shopping as opening act for Neil Young’s “Monsanto Years Tour’.
\nThe Earth Wants You is “a motivational handbook, meant to inspire its readers to challenge the consumerism, racism and militarism that are killing our planet.” and a “call to arms for a wild, creative, Earth-led cultural revolution.” Reverend Billy has taken this gospel to mountaintop removal sites, Monsanto offices, Zucotti Park, Burning Man, Ferguson Missouri, Black Friday in New York City, and Grand Central Station. (Reverend Billy himself has been arrested more than 70 times in the service of the Earth)
\nThe musician Laurie Anderson says of the Reverend’s new book “You must check out the newest from my favorite transcendent and down to Earth preacher.”
\nActivist Mike Roselle says “The Church of Stop Shopping is in the vanguard of a new movement that challenges this consumer society that is killing our planet.”
\nClayton Thomas-Muller, of the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, says of the Reverend ” Reverend Talen is a warrior whose aim it is to wake the sleeping to the realities of climate change. He is guided by a higher power and fueled by love.”<\/p>\n
