Love casts out fear.
But love is more than a slogan, a meme, or a scolding comment. True love is built in person-to-person and group-to-group relationships.

But love must be experienced. From the beginning of human history, people have sat down to meals to turn strangers, even enemies, into friends.
Today, we need a change of heart in how we see and treat one another. But change moves at the pace of relationships.

You can join us in effecting this change of heart. You can begin building relationships by hosting a Potluck Project gathering (formerly Potluck for Democracy). There, over food and conversation, we are seeing love cast out fear .
