Tonight, on your legal rights, we’ll be discussing an employment issue that never seem to go away: discrimination.Just last week we spoke of diversity, equity and inclusion programs and whether such DEI programs were dead in the workplace. The Trump adminstration has said dei programs themselves may be discriminatory. Clearly, we can distinguish between job candidates when the factor we’re considering is merit or giving a boost to a veteran. We can’t discriminate based on some factors such as gender or race.When is discrimination ok and when is discrimination not ok?YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is joined by attorneys knowledgeable in this area of law: From the San Francisco office of Cozen O’Connor, Walter M.

Savitri D is an artist and activist. Born at the Lama Foundation, a commune in Northern New Mexico that was started by her parents, she was raised in community by her mother and older sisters. She has lived and traveled in many places. She has an extensive background in dance and moved to New York City in 1996. Savitri is the director of Reverend Billy and The Church of Stop Shopping and has led direct action and organizing campaigns against corporations, institutions and injustice all over the world.

The character of Reverend Billy was developed in the mid 1990s by actor and playwright, William Talen. He debuted on the sidewalk at Times Square in 1998, outside the Disney Store, where he proclaimed Mickey Mouse to be the anti-Christ. He was arrested multiple times outside the Disney Store, where he duct-tapped Mickey Mouse to a cross. Reverend Billy’s sermons decried the evils of consumerism and the racism of sweatshop labor, and what Talen saw as the loss of neighborhood spirit in Rudolph Guiliani's New York.

The Reverend Billy character isn’t so much a parody of a preacher, as a preacher motif used to blur the lines between performance and religious experience.
