The Savera Coalition is united in its condemnation of the act of vandalism at a Hindu temple in Chino Hills. Political differences must never be litigated on, or in, houses of worship, and their politicization erodes the rights of our communities to freely gather and worship at these spaces.(1/4)

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.
The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.
This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

Doing the advocacy rounds on the Hill. My message? Hindu supremacists are aligning with other far right actors to erode democracy and civil rights HERE in America. We, @hfhr.bsky.social, offer an alternative, inclusive, sane, anti-caste Hindu voice.

Not George Soros agent, I am a practising Hindu woman against Hindu nationalism: Sunita Viswanath
My Jewish husband and I are being used as cannon fodder in BJP’s attempts to distract from Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Manipur. But there's another reason I am being targeted.
