He Gets Us ran an ad during the Super Bowl about enemy love, set to foot washing. But without justice, that gesture is empty. Love without justice won’t overcome polarization.
Thanks for helping me understand the Servant Project ad. I saw the ad and it bothered me a little bit but I wasn't sure why. Washing feet is a good thing, but as I think you said, giving up power is more difficult than just washing feet.
I think the images were pretty manipulative, and, as you mentioned, reinforced rather than flattened the power dynamics. And I think because foot-washing is kind out of context for us, the images do more to quell the consciences of those who stay inactive in justice spaces rather than encouraging them into action.

This is great, Jonny.
