Valarie Kaur is just wrapping up a six-week stretch of the Revolutionary Love Bus Tour, part of a deeply spiritual and place-specific experience of community and a vision for a new level of connection. She and her crew took a break from singing while traversing the South to check in with The State of Belief.
Valarie reminds us of the power of hope: “Hold fast to those visions. Hold fast to what we are laboring for, even if we don’t live to see it in our lifetime. We know that we will have played our role for the next generation and that what they will inherit from this era will not be our trauma or our fear, but our courage born of joy.”
Valarie Kaur is a renowned civil rights leader, lawyer, award-winning filmmaker, and author known for her visionary work in social justice and racial healing. As the founder of the Revolutionary Love Project, she leads movements on reclaiming love as a force for justice. Inspired by the loss of her family friend, Balbir Singh Sodhi as a result of hate violence in the aftermath of 9/11, Valarie has spearheaded campaigns on hate crimes, solitary confinement, and digital freedom.
