"The future is dark. Is this the darkness of the tomb—or the darkness of the womb?"
Valarie Kaur reframes the present moment in history as one of transition and calls on us to show up in the labor of birthing a new future. Through her renowned storytelling, teaching, and embodied inquiry, Valarie helps us explore how Revolutionary Love can transform our lives and our movements for social justice.
Valarie Kaur is a civil rights leader, lawyer, award-winning filmmaker, educator and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project. She became an activist when a Sikh father and family friend was the first person murdered in hate violence in the aftermath of 9/11. For two decades, in his memory, Kaur has led visionary campaigns to tell untold stories and change policy on issues ranging from hate crimes to digital freedom. Her work ignited a national movement to reclaim love as a force for justice.
Today, the Revolutionary Love Project is seeding networked communities of practice across the country to build the beloved community.
A daughter of Punjabi Sikh farmers in California, Kaur lifts up her vision for America in her acclaimed TED Talk and #1 LA Times Bestseller See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love. In fall 2022, President Biden honored her at the White House in the first-ever Uniters Ceremony, naming her as one of 16 leaders whose work is healing America.
