Savitri has created three new songs, in this time of our activist family’s confrontation of JPMorgan Chase, the pollutingest bank in the US. We go to Chase’s new $4billion headquarters on Park Avenue each week and sing through megaphones, making echoes in the canyons of finance. We shout like a hurting conscience.
In the case of this top fossil bank, the killer of the Paris Climate Agreement, the storms and droughts and wildfires make our case crystal clear. But much of our fight now is against violence that masquerades as nonsense. A six story high animated Polar Bear is now towering over tourists in Time Square, contentedly downing a can of Pepsi Cola. We have to ask, “Will the corporation protect this charismatic, endangered animal with some of the money it made by using its likeness?” Or, will Pepsi poison the Earth a bit less?
Free use of nature for financial gain is at the heart of our American psychosis. It burns the children of Iran alive. It kills for oil. With the great bear doing a comedy routine for the tourists, you have the destruction of respect for the Earth’s creation – that makes all evil OK. If we humiliate the noble beast at home, we become the rough beast across the world.
Join us on Sunday Mar 29th, 7 pm, at the Quaker Meetinghouse, 15 Rutherford Street in Manhattan.
The Stop Shopping choir got their Earthalujah goin’ on!
