Why the Rev. Billy is running for NYC Mayor
I read this on change.org today.
Our campaign will be devoted to nourishing and strengthening our common wealth, our city’s heritage, our lovely parks, roads, streets, neighborhoods, and the people who live in them. This city once belonged to us, and it will once again. It’s time for all of us to rise up and reclaim our wonderful city from Starbucks and the other awful chain stores, from real estate speculators and the predators on Wall Street. Together, we’ll give New York back to the people who love it.
Local economies anchored by independent shops and public spaces are not as sexy to this administration as luxury boxes, corporate jets and the like, but really the greatness of this city is in its neighborhoods.
As mayor I would re-establish the importance of the things we hold in common trust. And there is a living relationship between our green spaces in the city and the changing earth that threatens from the horizons.
Good luck Mr. Talen.
