Rev. Billy brings 'Earth Church' to this Avenue C storefront

Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir is hosting an Earth Church extravaganza (a "secular earthy gathering") early this evening at 36 Avenue C, a storefront on the NE corner of Third Street. 

The "Earth Service" starts at 5... with an after-party at 6. You can also watch from afar via Instagram Live @revbillytalen. 

Meanwhile, Rev. Billy and one other activist were arrested yesterday morning in Corlears Hook Park as workers prepared to cut down dozens of trees, including a stand of blossoming cherry trees. Work is now focusing on this area of East River Park as part of the $1.45 billion East Side Coastal Resiliency project.
