GRITtv: Reverend Billy on his Mayoral Campaign
The Rev. Billy Talen has gained a loyal following thanks to his anti-corporate, anti-consumerist message which he preaches from Starbucks to strip malls. His Church of Life After Shopping, formerly known as the Church of Stop Shopping was even featured in a documentary: 'What Would Jesus Buy?'. Now, he is taking his gospel to the political stage - he announced his run for mayor of New York City this March as the Green Party candidate. Reverend Billy's platform calls for 'Keeping our Neighborhoods Livable and Vibrant, Healthy and Safe.' Here to tell us more is the good man himself.
