Rev. Billy Needs YOU To STOP the Eviction of the Carnegie Artists Studios

Citizens, it's time for Sunday Service. Get thee to the Highline Ballroom tomorrow to have your spirits and consciousness raised by Rev. Billy & the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir! Get out of your seats and surrender to the powerful rhythm & blues of our reality. Boogie till you just can't boogie no more! For the benefit of senior artists who trusted they'd have a roof over their heads until the Corporation put eviction papers under their doors. But don't feel shame, instead support their struggle in your own, personal way. Even a conversation at work will bring their cause to more people, and so on.
March 2nd @ The Highline: Fight For The Carnegie Artist Studios
Sanford Weill and Carnegie Hall Towers Want To Privatize Our Heritage
The struggle against eviction by the artists and teachers in the Carnegie Tower studios is our struggle too. Some are in their 80’s and 90’s, and – are fellow New Yorkers that indecent? To put these folks out? All New Yorkers are watching what is happening here. The 28 year old stock broker reigns supreme. But in the Church of Stop Evicting we are supporting the “elders from the future” - heroes of a time when the arts flourished in the outlandish neighborliness that the towers were known for. Marlon Brando, Lucille Ball, Leonard Bernstein, Don Shirley, Kate Hepburn, Lee Strassberg… these are the culture-makers that lived and worked in the towers.

"Excuse me, how do you get to Carnegie Hall?"
Protest! Protest! Protest!

Last Sunday Reverend Billy preached on the snowy rooftop of the Carnegie Hall Towers, where "The Carnegie Hall 30" - artists and teachers, many in their 80's and 90's, face eviction from their homes to make room for corporate offices. We invite you to join us this Sunday at the Highline Ballroom as we raise the SPIRIT to stop these evictions and save the Studios! Change-a-lujah!
