SUMMARY:“Dare to Understand Award & Keynote” by Interfaith Philadelphia – PHILADELPHIA\, PA
DESCRIPTION:[ Click here to register ] \nJoin Interfaith Philadelphia as we step into Revolutionary Love\, honoring Valarie Kaur for her commitment to reclaim love as a force for justice. \nAfter September 11\, 2001\, interfaith leaders in the Philadelphia region came together to dare to understand one another\, rejecting the reaction of fear that emerged in the United States and ultimately founding Interfaith Philadelphia. Meanwhile\, across the country in California\, Valarie Kaur chose the same path: as a young adult\, galvanized by the news of her fellow Sikhs’ murders across the country\, Valarie turned to activism and the power of film\, healing herself from within then turning to those around her. \nWhat is the intersection of religious understanding and social justice? How does our faith inspire us to action? How do we care for ourselves while standing up to wrongdoing? Kaur tackles these questions and more in her work. As we dare to understand one another\, Valarie urges us to go one step further and see no stranger. With her Sikh heritage as an inspiration in her justice work\, Kaur encourages us to love others\, love opponents\, and love ourselves through her book See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love. \nWe are honored to present the 2023 Dare to Understand Award to Valarie Kaur as she guides us to exemplify Revolutionary Love\, declaring this the call of our time. Valarie Kaur’s book\, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love\, will be available for purchase. \n[ Click here to register ] \n

SUMMARY:“An Evening with Valarie Kaur” by Grand Valley State University – GRAND RAPIDS\, MI
DESCRIPTION:[ RSVP for this event ] \nThursday\, February 23\, 2023\n7 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.\nRobert C. Pew Grand Rapids Campus \n  \nJoin us for an evening with Valarie Kaur!  \nVALARIE KAUR  is a renowned civil rights leader\, lawyer\, award-winning filmmaker\, educator\, innovator\, and best-selling author of SEE NO STRANGER. She leads the Revolutionary Love Project to reclaim love as a force for justice. Valarie burst into American consciousness in the wake of the 2016 election when her Watch Night Service address went viral with 40 million views worldwide. Her question “Is this the darkness of the tomb – or the darkness of the womb?” reframed the political moment and became a mantra for people fighting for change. \nTwenty years ago\, when Valarie was a college student\, a family friend was murdered in a hate crime a few days after 9/11. He was a turbaned Sikh man she called “Uncle\,” killed by a man who called himself a patriot. Across the U.S.\, people of color were beaten\, chased\, shot\, and stabbed in thousands of hate incidents that were barely reported in the media. Valarie took her camera and began a journey across America to tell her community’s story and fight for racial justice. That journey continues today. \nValarie has won policy change on multiple fronts – hate crimes\, racial profiling\, immigration detention\, solitary confinement\, Internet freedom\, and more. She founded Groundswell Movement\, Faithful Internet\, and the Yale Visual Law Project to inspire and equip advocates at the intersection of spirituality\, storytelling\, and justice. Valarie has been a regular TV commentator on MSNBC and contributor to CNN\, NPR\, PBS\, the Hill\, Huffington Post\, and the Washington Post. Valarie earned degrees at Stanford University\, Harvard Divinity School\, and Yale Law School. \nValarie’s vision of “Revolutionary Love” is deeply rooted in her Sikh faith. She grew up on the farmlands of California\, where her family has lived as Punjabi Sikh farmers for more than a century. As a child\, whenever she felt lost\, her grandfather would give her Sikh wisdom through song and point to the path of the sant-sipahi\, sage-warrior. The sage loves; the warrior fights — it’s a path of revolutionary love. \nValarie’s debut book\, SEE NO STRANGER: A Memoir & Manifesto of Revolutionary Love \, was released in 2020 and expands on her “blockbuster” TED Talk. \nValarie will offer a lecture on her book\, See No Stranger\, followed by a reception and book signing. Light refreshments will be provided. \nRegistration is free but required. \n——————— \nOne of the great pioneers of the interfaith movement in West Michigan was Rabbi Dr. Phillip Sigal. Aside from his duties at Ahavas Israel Synagogue\, Dr. Sigal was instrumental in opening up the lines of communication among several religions in the area. After his untimely death in 1985\, a group of local academics and interfaith enthusiasts established a memorial lecture fund in Rabbi Sigal’s honor. In keeping with his legacy\, the Kaufman Interfaith Institute\, has brought to churches\, schools and other lecture halls some of the most important voices in religion and social movements of the day. \n  \nRSVP for this event \n  \nLocation Information\nL.V. Eberhard Center \n301 Fulton St W\, Grand Rapids\, MI 49504 \n  \nContact Information\nKaufman Interfaith Institute \nInterfaith@gvsu.edu \n616-331-5702
