Protesting JPMorgan Chase's Fossil Fuel Investments by Reverend Billy

For over a decade, activist performance artist Bill Talen, known as Reverend Billy, and his Church of Stop Shopping, have preached against recreational consumerism and climate disaster. He was recently arrested after a 15-minute musical protest at a JPMorgan Chase Bank in Manhattan, highlighting the bank's environmental record and the extinction of the Central American golden toad.

Facing misdemeanor charges that could lead to a year in prison, Reverend Billy and The Stop Shopping Choir continue to perform in New York City every Sunday through December 22. Reverend Billy is also featured in the film and book, "What Would Jesus Buy?" The book is available for purchase.
