Dear Friends,
I am writing you from the bus! We are on the road with the Revolutionary Love Tour — and just wrapped a spectacular first week. We hosted seven powerful events across three states, with thousands of people coming together in beloved community. We are ignited by all your excitement for this movement.
The tour is just beginning— and we want YOU to be a part of it. Find an event near you and register here. Invite your friends, family, and community to experience these transformative gatherings. Help us spread the message: forward this email, spread the word, and invite all into a space where we can open our hearts to our deepest humanity.
