What is the role of “love” in politics? Bitterness, anger, resentment, and cynicism have marked this election season and left everyday Americans disenchanted with the political process. How can we restore love as a public ethic to change American politics, this election year and beyond? The Love-Driven Politics Collective, in conjunction with the Slought Foundation and the School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania, will host a series of pop-up conventions across Philadelphia from July 25 — July 28, 2016 in parallel to the Democratic National Convention.
