SAINTS
Saints carry the water, do the work, inspire us, teach us. These are people who deserve recognition and gratitude and we love nothing more than to bring them up on stage and give them some hot light and a live mic. Here is Rachel Rivera from New York Community Coalition, she fought for the Rockaways after Hurricane Sandy. Thank you Rachel. Here are just a few of the more than 100 saints beatified by The Chuch of Stop Shopping. Title photo of Picture The Homeless.
