Free @RevBilly Black Friday Music Demonstration at J.P. Morgan Chase

Posted 11 years ago on Nov. 26, 2013, 3:47 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt (1) from Plainfield, NJ

The Reverend Billy Talen, a longtime Occupy Wall Street supporter, is now facing a year in prison simply for preaching on the environmental record of JP Morgan Chase. We ask the Occupy community to raise the alarm. Join us on Black Friday (November 29, 2013) for a musical peace protest. Let ALL our voices be heard. We will not be silenced.

Billy Talen is an actor who uses comedy, theater, and music to persuade large corporations and entities to address environmental issues. In June 2013, he and a few members of the “Church of Earthalujah” choir walked into the lobby of a JP Morgan Chase branch. Dressed in toad hats (the central American golden toad species to be precise, which has been made extinct) they told the staff that they were about to perform "expressive politics."</p> <p>As the choir sang, Talen, who impersonates a Baptist preacher, delivered a short sermon about climate change and Chase's record in financing the biggest fossil fuel industrial projects in the world. Talen and choir director Nehemiah Luckett were arrested and charged with riot, trespass, unlawful assembly and disorderly conduct. The prosecutor has called the performance a "criminal stunt," and demanded that Talen go to prison for an entire year! The trial starts on 9 December.</p> <p>Talen, who has been performed around the world for more than 20 years, said he was surprised and worried by the charges against him. "Our whole thing was 15 minutes long. And for 15 minutes [they] want to put us in jail for a year?" he said. "I've served three days in the Los Angeles prison in 2006, other than that – my 75 arrests were usually just overnight. It's surprising."</p> <p>Earlier this year the choir, which often draws on Broadway actors, did a similar performance at an HSBC branch in London but no one was arrested. In 2011, the group "exorcised" BP in the main turbine hall of the Tate in London. JP Morgan Chase, which has revenues of $21bn a year and assets of $2trillion, was last week ordered to pay a record fine of $13bn after admitting it made serious misrepresentations to the public over mortgages.</p> <p>On Black Friday (November 29, 2013), the Occupy Wall Street community will gather at JP Morgan’s NY Headquarters for a musical peace protest to support our friends. The original Occupy Drum Circle will be reuniting for the first time in over a year, to support this specific action, and the freedom of expression. Please join us from 8AM to 8PM, bring your instruments, your voices, or just yourselves. Thanks to you all.</p> <p>Facebook Event Page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/1432764656938153/">http://www.facebook.com/events/1432764656938153/</a></p> </div>  <p class="view-comments"> <a title="View Comments" href="/forum/free-revbilly-black-friday-music-demonstration-jp-/#comments"> 46 Comments</a> </p> </article> <h3 id="comments"> <span id="comment-count">46</span> Comments </h3> <div class="postcommentform"> <textarea rows="5" cols="70"></textarea><br /> <button class="save">post comment</button> <img class="loader" src="/media/img/ajax-loader.gif" width="16" height="16" /> <span class="error"></span> <a style="font-size:small" href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/moderating-policies-will-be-reposted-somewhere-pro/">Read the Rules</a> </div> <section id="comment-list"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-1013017"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">2</span> points by <span><a title="View DKAtoday's profile" class="user" href="/users/DKAtoday/">DKAtoday</a></span> (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN <span class="published">11 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>May God ( and every rational individual ) bless this holiday season - as the worst EVER for the Greedy - and - YES - you know who you are.</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/forum/free-revbilly-black-friday-music-demonstration-jp-/#comment-1013017">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-1013018"> <div class="content "> <p class="deleted"><span>[Removed]</span></p> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-1012995"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[+]</a> <span class="karma">-5</span> points by <span><a title="View sharmag's profile" class="user" href="/users/sharmag/">sharmag</a></span> (-115) from New York, NY <span class="published">11 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>JPMorgan Chase is a great company.

Although the phrase about God's work is from GS and not JPM, it is still true, even though I see your sarcastic tone in the comment. When they saved these companies, it helped their CLIENTS as well. People with investments or deposits in these institutions were helped by JPM. Banking in general is indeed good work because financing allows for great things to happen and humans to go places. About the bullying, it's not necessarily the other way around. US regulators have been very tough on Wall Street (maybe a little TOO much).

I mean, saying JPM isn't "as bad" as, say GS, doesn't really count for much here. The lesser evil is still evil.</p> <p>JPM took $25 Billion in taxpayer money during the bailout, and they possibly receive as much as another $14 Billion a year in subsidies.

However, JPM was and is better than most other banks and will continue to be. Its superior business practices and higher moral standards than most banks are why it wasn't as leveraged and didn't fail, and in fact was strong enough to acquire two other companies. It is a 100+ year old bank that has always been among the best in the world and has survived many tough times. Looking back, it funded many of the big things that are part of history today. For example, John Pierpont Morgan, founder of the firm, funded the early railroads and Nikola Tesla. His moral code was high and he did great things. This heritage continues to this day, as JPM is a highly respected and prestigious bank that just came out of another recession stronger than ever. While it made some mistakes, we know that everyone did and they were better than most others.
