Saints & Friends

SAINTS

Saints carry the water, do the work, inspire us, teach us. These are people who deserve recognition and gratitude and we love nothing more than to bring them up on stage and give them some hot light and a live mic. Here is Rachel Rivera from New York Community Coalition, she fought for the Rockaways after Hurricane Sandy. Thank you Rachel.  Here are just a few of the more than 100 saints beatified by The Chuch of Stop Shopping. Title photo of Picture The Homeless.

BUILDERS

Reverend Billy & The Stop Shopping Choir is a collaborative social project and is the sum of the many contributions made by those who have worked in this circle. For the thousands of decisions that were made, THANK YOU.
