Author, Lawyer, Filmmaker Valarie Kaur Talks Revolutionary Love
Bestselling author, lawyer, and award-winning filmmaker Valarie Kaur will speak about her experience as an activist, a mother, and a Sikh American and how to practice revolutionary love during a lecture at Temple Emanu-El.
Kaur’s Revolutionary Love Project produces educational tools, training courses, artwork, films, music, and mass mobilizations around the ideas of revolutionary love, which she defines as “the choice to enter into labor for others, even for our opponents, and for ourselves.”
The event, set for 7:30 to 9 p.m. Sept. 8 at the synagogue at 8500 Hillcrest Road, will also include a signing of Kaur’s bestselling book See No Stranger.
Kaur will also lead a workshop at 11 a.m. Sept. 9 at Paul Quinn College in the Grand Lounge. A copy of See No Stranger is included with this ticket purchase, as well as a box lunch.
