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:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/13/opinion/open-letter-kim-jongun.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fopinion&action=click&contentCollection=opinion®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=3&pgtype=sectionfront" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2017/<wbr>11/13/opinion/open-letter-kim-<wbr>jongun.html?rref=collection%<wbr>2Fsectioncollection%2Fopinion&<wbr>action=click&<wbr>contentCollection=opinion&<wbr>region=stream&module=stream_<wbr>unit&version=latest&<wbr>contentPlacement=3&pgtype=<wbr>sectionfront</a></div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>Take good care,</div><div>David</div></div><div><br></div><div><br><div>
