Sikh activist Valerie Kaur calls for an online People’s Inauguration on January 21st. The California-based Kaur has built a multi-faith coalition of partners and organizations supporting the campaign to rebuild and renew civic life. The activist, author, and lawyer explains why she believes that renewal begins with embracing a “revolutionary love,” a principle she finds in many faith traditions.
She shares how she will be honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy and why she is calling people of faith and goodwill to work, “block by block” to build the America we need.
We close with Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris reading an excerpt of Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail on the Senate Floor.
Valarie Kaur J.D. Civil rights activist, award-winning filmmaker, and author most recently of See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love. Ms. Kaur received her Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School and her Juris Doctor from Yale Law.
