"You must check out the newest from my favorite transcendent and down to earth preacher."--Laurie Anderson, artist, musicianA motivational for earth activists, inspired visions and a call to arms for a wild, creative, Earth-led revolution.Brothers and Sisters We are fast approaching a time when our "normal" way of life will no longer be possible. Our old life will disappear like the coastal cities and the black rhinoceros, casualties of climate change.Civic life in the time of climate chaosfloods, fire, drought, and superstormswill require intensive policing and social control. Governing bodies will transform and democracy will fall by the wayside; the banks and the power stations will be heavily defended; whole populations will be incarcerated. While this might seem like dystopian fiction, it's actually a description of life as it's lived in much of the world now, and will become the norm unless we can stop it. When the ocean is pouring in through the door, will we find the will to act before we drown?This book is a call for action as extreme as the weather. It's meant to radicalize those who didn't think the climate crisis would require any risky personal commitment. The Earth revolution is upon us, and it must be as wild and as unpredictable as life on Earth itself Earth-a-lujah Praise for Reverend Billy: "Combining the situationalist flair of Abbie Hoffman with an evangelist's tireless zeal, Reverend Billy's efforts against mindless consumerism and corporate greed have added the oxygen of publicity to flames of a number of worthy causes, as well as reintroducing a much-needed sense of fun to Manhattan's somber and overregulated plazas."--"Publishers Weekly"" Reverend Billy has] the zeal of a street-corner preacher and the schmaltz of a street-corner Santa."--"The New York Times"Praise for The Earth Wants YOU: "An inspired sermon delivered from the frontline of environmental activism, Reverend Billy's call to action is at once sobering and encouraging. We have fucked up really badly, but the ability to see it--no matter how much despair it creates--is the first and hardest step toward fixing it. Talen's wit, poetry, and compassion allow us to look at what we've done, without losing faith that we can yet change our ways.--Douglas Rushkoff, author, "Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus" and "Present Shock""A moving motivational for earth activists. Reverend Billy strikes again to help us ready ourselves for the times ahead, find solace in the persistent forcefield of life and living beings, and build courage to reorient our own life and life's work. Thanks Rev--I'm ready to change faster."--Severine von Tscharner Fleming, Director, The Greenhorns "In the years since his emergence, Reverend Billy has evolved from a comic act to a vigorous activist for social and environmental justice. Witty, relentless, and at times profound, his essays and anecdotes reveal a man compulsively challenging the true extent of liberty, freedom of speech and the right to protest in contemporary American society."--Oscar nominated songwriter Anohni"This is a political performance-art exorcism of the poisonous tyranny of neoliberalism. His embodied critique of our consumer-capitalist society shows without a doubt, that love and life are two things that cannot be bought and sold. This is a new Psalm for the Earth, including its human and other-than-human inhabitants. It is also a powerful invitation to stop shopping and join the environmental justice movement."--Beth Stephens Ph.D. Ecosexual Artist/ProfessorReverend Billy and his choir of singing activists are on the front lines of creative direct action, and here they offer up a distillation of the passion, the inspiration, and the hopes for love and survival that fuel their work.", A motivational for earth activists, inspired visions and a call to arms for a wild, creative, Earth-led revolution.
