According to Valarie Kaur, grief is a necessary part of loving others. Grieving with others is the practice of sharing their pain without trying to minimize or erase it. You do not need to know someone to grieve with them. Grieving collectively and in community gives us the information to build solidarity, to fight for justice, and even to share in one another’s joy. We get an insight that we wouldn’t have had before that compels us to choose to protect those that are in harm’s way – to fight. The practice of Revolutionary Love calls us to fight against injustice in a way that preserves our opponent’s humanity as well as our own. This commitment to fight comes from an understanding of our interconnectedness and recognizes the resilience of communities who have been historically targeted by oppression: Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC), women, queer and trans communities, disabled communities, and others.
