Outing Blue Privilege: A Call for Public Love Because Public Safety Is Not Enough Engelska 2026

Public love is protest and policy advocacy. Policy advocacy is a civic prayer that impacts the soul of the nation.

There are so many ways we patrol, punish, and compromise our humanity; ways we impugn our faith and shred the fabric of democracy. Policing and punishment hover over us as matters of life and death. Our world aches for a species of love strong enough to undo the personal, collective, and structural terror and trauma of policing and punishment. To make America safe and sustainable for all flesh, we desperately need a more substantial political muscle than those we have dared to exercise in the history of our republic.

In our republic, it's common to grapple with intrigues around public policy, public housing, public jobs, public investments, public safety, and public benefits, but what about public love? It is public love that creates the necessary space for justice to be the rendezvous point of the political, moral, and spiritual. In Outing Blue Privilege Willie Francois pushes readers into an activism of public love, the embodiment, creation of, and advocacy for common goodness, equity, and justice.
