Valarie kaur book5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() The first is that for someone still relatively young, she has just about the most varied and extraordinary activist résumé I’ve ever seen. I have sought to bring her here for two years, and I am wowed by her for three reasons. I find our next speaker to be an astonishing woman. Introduction by Nina Simons, Bioneers co-founder and Chief Relationship Strategist. Read the full verbatim transcript of this keynote talk below. To learn more about Valarie Kaur, visit her website. Valarie Kaur, born into a family of Sikh farmers who settled in California in 1913, is a seasoned civil rights activist, award-winning filmmaker, lawyer, faith leader, and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project, which seeks to champion love as a public ethic and wellspring for social action. We need to reclaim love as a form of sweet labor-fierce, demanding, and life-giving -and draw from the wisdom of the midwife: when in labor, breathe and push! It’s an orientation to life and our movements that harnesses all of the body’s emotions-grief, rage, and joy-and calls us to our highest bravery. The extraordinarily passionate and effective civil rights attorney, faith leader and activist Valarie Kaur shares why she’s convinced that what our times demand is Revolutionary Love. ![]() Although we’ve mounted a powerful resistance to tyranny, injustice and violence during the Trump era, with 2020 in sight, we need more than resistance. “Is this the darkness of the tomb – or the darkness of the womb?” asks Valarie Kaur. This keynote talk was given at the 2019 Bioneers Conference. ![]()
