Revolutionary love is the choice to labor for others, for opponents, and for ourselves. Are you ready to practice revolutionary love? There is a way to find liberation here and now. You can face the horrors of the world and find longevity, resilience, and joy. You don’t have to make yourself suffer to serve. But you don’t have to grind your bones to the ground.

I believe this is how we birth the world to come. A critical mass of people building beloved community – anti-racist, equitable and sustainable.

My vision is to seed “pockets” of revolutionary love across the country and around the world. Revolutionary love is the call of our times. A new way of being and seeing that leaves no one outside our circle of care. We need a shift in consciousness and culture. Sound government is necessary but not sufficient to transition us. I believe that we can birth that world together. A society awakened to the truth of our interdependence. Other days, I see glimpses of the nation, the world, wanting to be born.

Some days are so deadly, I can taste the ash in my mouth. Is this the darkness of the tomb – or of the womb? I have fought for racial justice for twenty years.

It just might be our best chance for our collective future.Hi! I’m Valarie Kaur. Revolutionary love is medicine for our times. See No Stranger is a practical guide to changing the world, a synthesis of wisdom, a chronicle of personal and communal history-all joined together by a story of awakening. It enjoins us to see no stranger but instead look at others and say: You are a part of me I do not yet know.ĭrawing from the wisdom of sages, scientists, and activists-and her own riveting journey as a brown girl growing up in California farmland as a young adult galvanized by the murders of Sikhs after 9/11 as a law student fighting injustices in American prisons and on Guantánamo Bay as an activist working with communities recovering from xenophobic attacks and as a woman trying to heal from her own experiences with sexual assault and police violence – Kaur discovers practices of revolutionary love to bring us longevity, resilience, and joy. Now in her stunning debut, Kaur declares revolutionary love is the call of our times, a radical, joyful practice that extends in three directions: to others, to our opponents, and to ourselves. Valarie Kaur - renowned Sikh activist, filmmaker, and civil rights lawyer - has ignited the hearts of millions around the globe, making “Breathe and Push!” a mantra in movements for social change.
