What Would Jesus Buy opened Nov 16th about Reverend Billy, and
actor whose mission is to fight what he calls the “shop ocalypse,” the
buying frenzy Americans indulge in every holiday season armed with his
"Beatitudes of Buy lessness" such as: Blessed is the artist
who is not corporate sponsored for you shall give birth to warm fronts
of emotion and breakthroughs of Peace and
Blessed are you who confuse “Consumerism” with “Freedom,” for you
shall be delighted to discover the difference.

It made me think of this news bit: http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/Search/882264.html
Kings crusade in the pink
GRADE 12 students Travis Price and David Shepherd from Central Kings
Rural High in Nova Scotia gave support to a Grade 9
student who was harassed on the first day of school. A group of six to
10 bullies called him a homosexual for wearing a pink shirt and
threatened to beat him up. Travis and David decided enough is
enough. They turned the hallways at Central Kings Rural High into
a sea of
pink by encouraging other students to wear the colour to school two
days later. They bought 75 pink tank tops and distributed them to male
students in the lobby before class; even the bullied student had one.
Word of the kids standing up to the bullies spread around the world
to England, Norway, Bermuda and the United States. CBS New York ran the
story and Spain’s largest newspaper, El Pais, carried the story and
photo of the teenagers. (The Chronicle Herald’s website recorded its
highest number of hits ever, with approximately 172,000 visits to the
story over a three-day period.)

Some giving ideas for locals:
Singer/ Songwriter Bill Hudson has an organization which delivers
instruments to kids in New Orleans who lost their instruments in the
Hurricane, and while they are at the schools delivering they sing with
and for the kids. I am collecting instruments from folks here in the
Hudson Valley to deliver Thanksgiving weekend for a trip down there
December 15. If anyone is within 45 minutes of Peekskill in the Hudson
Valley, NY and has an old instrument in a closet they want to donate,
please contact me to make arrangements
so I can get your instrument to a kid who needs it. I'm putting a
link below for more info about this program, and if you are not in the
Hudson Valley you can check the link or contact Bill to see about
donating an instrument... Thanks. Fred Gillen Jr.

And this thought makes me remember this note from Ray Karona:
"The song Pete Seeger and I have about the hundreds of children
giving away their toys to children in Iraq seems right for your theme:
"Toys
for Peace" on "The Safe Thing To Do" CD. As for organizations, the
volunteers at Peoples' Voice Café have kept this venue for
social justice
folk music going weekly for 28 years now. The Café's official
theme song about how and why they do it is on our band's "A Friend Like
You" CD. It's
called "Peoples' Voice Café."
