I’ll be at UC Santa Barbara next week talking about the collapse of American democracy and why a $1000 check can’t solve our global migration crisis. All attendees get a copy of Soldiers and Kings.

Today is the one year anniversary of the release of Soldiers and Kings. I wish my buddy Roberto was still here to see how many people have been moved by his story.
