The Villager reports that Savitri D. has settled out of court about a spoof website, with the restrictions of not using the Union Square Partnership’s photos and placing a disclaimer on her satirical sites.
Savitri and the Church of Stop Shopping (or Life After Shopping) have launched a new website, http://www.unionsquarepartnershipsucks.org, according to the article.
Reverend Billy and Savitri D. have changed the name of the church fomerly know as “Stop Shopping,” to the Church of Life After Shopping, they announced on their blog recently.
Also, in conjunction with a previous announcement on the Hour of Power that they would tour NYC’s prisons to pray and bring awareness, they have said that they will commence this campaign before their first performance of the new year at the Highline Ballroom on March 8th. Tickets to the event are available here.
This comes on the heels of the news that Billy, maybe symbolically, is running for mayor of NYC. The couple endorses eco-candidate and animals rights advocate Tony Avella for the 2009 race.
Not long ago, in October of last year, Billy himself was featured exiting City Hall on the infamous Court House Confessions blog which interviews attendees leaving court.
Read about that arrest featured previously on Now Public. The protest was in relationship to Rev. & Savitir’s Union Square Campaign.
