Nonviolence and Revolutionary Love: A Conversation with Valarie Kaur
Monday, 23 March, 2026
In this episode of Nonviolence Radio, we speak with civil rights leader and Revolutionary Love Project founder Valarie Kaur about love as a force for transformation in our lives and movements. Kaur describes revolutionary love as “the choice to see no stranger… to risk ourselves for each other,” and shares stories from communities across the country where people are practicing courage, care, and solidarity in the face of violence and fear. These acts—whether on the front lines or in everyday life—offer glimpses of a world grounded in belonging and deep connection.At the heart of the conversation is Kaur’s powerful framing of social change as a kind of labor. Drawing on the wisdom of the midwife, she invites us into a rhythm of “breathe and push,” tending both to our inner lives and to the work of justice in the world. “This is long labor, courageous labor,” she says, encouraging us to find ways to sustain ourselves while acting with purpose. The episode explores how choosing to see the humanity of others—even those who oppose us—can be a radical act of freedom, and how cultivating that inner strength allows us to remain present, brave, and connected in the midst of uncertainty.
