Resurrecting mountains at Chase lobbies on Easter Sunday


After planting two "mountains" of toxic mud in lobbies of JP Morgan Chase Reverend Billy Talen was arrested by New York police at Astor Place and incarcerated at the 9th precinct on East 5th Street in the East Village. The Church of Life After Shopping retrieved the soil from strip-mining sites in West Virginia. Rev. Billy and the choir paraded across the Village with the mountains recreated on yard-long wooden planks. JP Morgan Chase is the primary underwriter of strip-mining in Appalachia.

Our first stop was at the Chase lobby on St. Marks Place and 2nd Avenue, where the choir performed a "mystery channeling of money" as bank customers withdrew cash. The Reverend preached to a sidewalk crowd through a white megaphone. When the Choir reached their second destination at Astor Place, three NYPD squad cars surrounded the action. Rev. Billy told the officers taping his speech that he was leaving a message for JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon in a plastic Easter egg on the peak inside the lobby. As Talen concluded his sermon, the NYPD demanded that he remove the miniature mountain from the floor of the ATM lobby, which Rev. Billy refused to do. He was subsequently arrested.

Reverend Billy was released on his own recognizance after a detention of two hours in Manhattan's 9th precinct.
