About the Session

In this session, civil rights leader and faith-rooted organizer Valarie Kaur will invite us into “Revolutionary Love and Grounded Resistance” as a spiritual framework for our “Rooted Resistance” Summit theme. Drawing from her work with the Revolutionary Love Project, she will explore how love can become a fierce, public ethic that grounds our resistance to racism, religious bigotry, and ecological devastation.

Through story, ancestral wisdom, and practices from her book See No Stranger, Valarie will help us see how being rooted in wonder, grief, and rage can anchor multifaith movements for climate and environmental justice. The audience will leave with concrete tools to practice revolutionary love, for ourselves, for one another, and even for our opponents, as we cultivate grounded, long-haul resistance for the sake of our communities and the Earth.
