Image: black background. In the upper left hand corner, there is a white Side With Love heart. Next to it, in a handwritten-style font in yellow is text that reads: Save the Date. Below it in red text reads “30 Days of Love 2025”, followed by “Monday, January 20 through Friday, February 14” in white text. On the right hand side of the graphic are small, chalk drawing-style hearts in the Side With Love yellow in a staggered line.
Side With Love is thrilled to announce 30 Days of Love 2025! Our annual month of spiritual nourishment, political grounding, and shared practices of faith and justice, 30 Days of Love will go from Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (January 20) through Valentine’s Day (February 14). Each week’s resources will be published on Tuesdays.
This year, 30 Days of Love will share practices we can take together to bring those dreams of justice and liberation into being. This year’s theme, Inhabiting Our Freedom Dreams, draws inspiration from Robin D.G. Kelley’s Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination, tracing the prophetic affirmations and spiritual work of justice movements as guides to how each of us can call new worlds into being. Each week, you will receive several offerings related to the weekly themes.
“We are home” - From the the immigrant justice coalition lead by United We Dream
“Trans people are divine” -From the creators of the Black Trans Prayer Book
“Water Is Life” - From the Standing Rock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline
“There are Black People in the Future” - From artist Alisha B. Wormsley
Each week’s resources will be published on Tuesdays and include the following:
A Side With Love message provides political education and context for each weekly theme with lessons and inspiration to move through these times.
A journal practice to reflect and dream to chart a course with clarity and care.
A creative/art practice to ground in the beauty and abundance of imagination.
A body practice to ground us in resilience and renewal.
A family friendly, multigenerational activity that builds community as we take action for justice.
