When you think about love, what comes to mind?
Maybe a movie like Love Actually or Love & Basketball. Maybe Dolly Parton or Whitney Houston singing "I Will Always Love You." Love shows up a lot in our pop culture— but what about in our politics?
The relationships we build…the people we love…the way we treat each other…all of that can be political.
This hour, we hear about the importance of love in political organizing and the way even our most intimate relationships can be political.
