}}Valarie Kaur (born February 14, 1981) is an American civil rights activist, documentary filmmaker, lawyer, educator and faith leader.[1] She was born and raised in Clovis, California, where her family settled as Sikh farmers in 1913.[2] When a family friend was the first person killed in a hate crime after September 11, 2001, she began to document hate crimes against Sikh and Muslim Americans, which resulted in the award-winning documentary film Divided We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath.[3] Since then, she has made films and led story-based campaigns on hate crimes, racial profiling, immigration detention, solitary confinement, marriage equality, and Internet freedom.[4] She is the founder of [https://action.groundswell-mvmt.org/ Groundswell Movement],[5] considered "America's largest multifaith online organizing network,"[6] recognized for "dynamically strengthening faith-based organizing in the 21st century."[7] She is also co-founder of Faithful Internet which organizes people of faith to protect net neutrality.[8] She is currently the founder and director of the Revolutionary Love Project,[3] which produces stories, tools, and thought leadership to equip people to practice love as a public ethic and wellspring for social action.[9]

Shortly after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Kaur delivered a Watch Night address[10] that went viral with over 30 million views worldwide[11][12][13]. In 2017 she delivered a TED Talk entitled "3 Lessons of Revolutionary Love in a Time of Rage."[14]

Kaur earned undergraduate degrees in Religious Studies and International Relations at Stanford University, a master's in theological studies at Harvard Divinity School, and a J.D. at Yale Law School.[15] She is a member of the California Bar.[16]

The Center for American Progress named Kaur "a standout figure in the world of interfaith organizing and activism."[17] In 2012, she received the American Courage Award by Asian Americans Advancing Justice.[18] In 2013, she was named a "Person of the Year" by India Abroad[19] and one of eight Asian American "Women of Influence" by Audrey Magazine.[20] In 2015, Kaur was recognized as a "Young Global Leader" by the World Economic Forum.[21] In 2016, Harvard Divinity School awarded her the Peter J. Gomes Memorial Honor.[22]
