WHO

Bill Talen, also known as Reverend Billy, is the Green Party candidate for Mayor of New York City. Talen lived and worked as a performance artist in the Bay area for twenty years. Moving to NYC in the early 90s, he started up the Life After Shopping Church, with a 40 voice choir.  Casting himself as the anti-consumerist televangelists, his comic "retail interventions" got him outlawed from all the Starbucks in California. In NYC, the church membership grew after 9/11, as citizens looked for a kind of fellowship independent from organized religion.  Now Talen’s mayoral campaign is leading the rise of the 500 neighborhoods.  He has inspired many to embrace a life beyond corporate control. As Mayor, he would be a global leader for local rights, economic and social justice, the environment and the arts.  http://www.voterevbilly.org
