Zhaleh Almaee is dedicated to peace, communication, perspective-taking and art. I have known her, her work, and her effort to raise the voices of the most marginalized communities in this country for. Her work is dedicated to listening to each other, and diminishing the distance between the idea of the  "other". How you are choosing to characterize her work is a dangerous misrepresentation. Were you to have a conversation with her, or attend a theater workshop that she leads, you would notice yourself being able to hear humanity in the experience of other people. Her concern in this election cycle about violent rhetoric, and violence against people does not limit itself to left or right. She would never advocate violence against anyone. Quite the opposite, she would request that we stop and hear each other. I urge readers of this editorial to question this interpretation of Ms. Alamee's work. See for yourselves. She is a wonderful person, and should not be characterized so hatefully.
