Hello friends.

Today, the philosopher George Yancy and I published an op-ed in the New York Times (published in the philosophy column “The Stone”). It’s an open letter of love to Kim Jong-Un. George and I felt compelled to disrupt the acrimonious and potentially dangerous exchange between the U.S./Trump and North Korea/Kim.  As you will see, the letter is deeply infused by the ethos of the Love-Driven Politics Collective. You can read the letter here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/13/opinion/open-letter-kim-jongun.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fopinion&action=click&contentCollection=opinion&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=3&pgtype=sectionfront

The editor at the Times has warned us that we may receive some flashback for the letter. That a message of public love should anticipate such a response says a lot about where we are and the work that lies ahead. As always, do share the letter with your respective networks. We hope that it will catalyze some good. 

Take good care,
David
