The Value of Empathy in Civics

It’s also an evolutionary advantage…

You know I am big on Civic Love and Civic Ubuntu (“I am because we are…”). After a lifetime of civic engagement and grassroots democracy, I believe this is a fundamental condition of civics and being in relationship with others in a democracy. Do you care about others – people who are not related to you – people who live far from you – people who may believe different things than you do? Before I ask about your politics or your civic behaviors – like, say, voting, volunteering, or donating – I want to know what is in your civic heart?
