See No Stranger

a play-full introduction to Valerie Kaur's Revolutionary Love Compass
CC King and Wai-Chin Matsuoka

Online, ONLINE

May 12 & 26; Wednesday: 4:30-6pm PT; 6:30-8PM CT; 7:30-9PM ET

In this time of rage and social/racial upheaval, CC & Wai-Chin introduce a counter-intuitive approach from Valarie Kaur, the author of See No Stranger - A Memoir & Manifesto of Revolutionary Love.

“The Revolutionary Love Project envisions a world where love is a public ethic and shared practice in our lives and politics. We generate stories, tools, and thoughtful leadership to equip people to practice the ethic of love in the fight for social justice.”

Valarie Kaur believes that “Love is a form of sweet labor: fierce, bloody, imperfect, and life giving—a choice we make over and over again... “Revolutionary love” is the choice to enter into labor for others, for our opponents, and for ourselves in order to transform the world... It is not a formal code or prescription but an orientation to life that is personal and political, rooted in joy.”

We'll introduce the “Revolutionary Love” compass in two 90-min sessions. Our hope is to launch a 9-month program where community/affinity groups can read the book together and engage in the practice of laboring for others, for our opponents and for ourselves in order to transform the world.

You do not need to have read the book to join us.
