The Stop Shopping Church, led by Reverend Billy and Savitri D, employs performance activism to challenge consumerism and advocate for "Earth Justice." This grassroots group has collaborated with notable artists and protested major corporations while addressing broader social issues like racial justice and environmental concerns. In "The Church of Stop Shopping and Religious Activism," George González examines the evolution of the Church from parody to serious religious engagement, highlighting the connections between capitalism, consumer rituals, and climate crisis.
