If you're in the Bay Area, make sure to join @akscsfba.bsky.social's debrief and Q&A tomorrow, August 9, on the recent court judgement dismissing HAF's case against the California Civil Rights Department! (1/2)

Today marks the 13th anniversary of the hate massacre at the Oak Creek Sikh Gurudwara in Wisconsin. Savera honors the memory of our community members who lost their lives, and deepens our commitment to organizing for a world where this never happens again.

nysfocus.com/2025/07/10/e... Success! Following the letter to Eric Adams led by Savera and signed onto by over two dozen organizations, Mr. Adams has withdrawn from the event featuring Kajal Hindustani. We're glad that such bigotry will not receive official sanction. However... (1/4)

“If you acknowledge that this discrimination is taking place on the basis of race, you could imagine these political solidarities also on the basis of race, and acknowledge obligations and political connections to many other peoples and sites and places,” said HoSang.

In a deeply researched audit, reporter Mukta Joshi finds that a full 77% of the incidents HAF claims to be "Hinduphobia" are actually misclassified anti-Asian racism, anti-Muslim violence, and criticism of Hindu nationalism jewishcurrents.org/auditing-the...

Savera is excited to be participating in a critical and timely two-part SRF365 webinar, hosted by @americansunited.bsky.social, on the multiracial far-right – and how our communities are resisting. Join us on June 26 at 12pm ET at the link below: www.mobilize.us/au/event/794...

There is currently a lot of debate about whether Vance Boelter was an outlier for Christian extremism, and whether anti-abortion extremism is an outlier for Christianity. The reality is, the anti-abortion movement is inextricably linked to Replacement Theory and anyone who believes in it.

Exciting to see a wonderful collaboration involving two of our member organizations, @hfhr.bsky.social and @sikhcoalition.bsky.social happening this weekend! Accessible, open, multi-faith spaces with music, community and food are so crucial – and a fitting riposte to those seeking to divide us.

From the recent Rutgers Hindutva report, read how US unfamiliarity with Hindutva allows it to spread: "On July 30, 2024, the Montgomery Theatre in San Jose hosted a... dramatization of a book promoted by Gopal Godse, brother of the assassin of India's revered independence leader Mahatma Gandhi."

In the last 100 days, the Trump administration has launched a direct assault on our First Amendment rights, targeting student protesters and blocking legacy media from the White House. Freedom of speech is the foundation of our democracy. #100DaysAndBeyond #ApathyIsNotAnOption #TogetherWeFight

Read this new report from the Asian American Disinfo Table for some important insights! www.asianamdisinfo.org/resources/wh... "Disinformation within the Asian American community has transnational dimensions"; we must "engage explicitly and critically with white supremacy and ethnonationalism"

On behalf of the Sikh Coalition team, we wish⁠ you a very Happy Vaisakhi!⁠ ⁠ May the spirit of Vaisakhi inspire a year filled⁠ with growth, joy, and shared achievements.⁠ ⁠ (Thank you @jusskaur_art for creating our card this year!🙏🏾)⁠ ⁠ #HaapyVaisakhi #Vaisaikhi #Sikh #Sikhi

As authoritarian crackdowns against activists and dissidents intensify here in America and across the globe, combating the threat of transnational repression is more important than ever. Congratulations to Savera member @sikhcoalition.bsky.social for this major win!

This is who Tucker Carlson just had on his show. Unabashed antisemites now given a platform by one of Trump’s top allies & loudest voices in MAGA. The movement that says it cares about fighting antisemitism

Full solidarity with Savera coalition member @sikhcoalition.bsky.social. The Sangh's hypocrisy is striking: they insist (accurately) that Hindu Americans come from diverse backgrounds beyond India, but demand that other categories (Bengali, Sikh, Punjabi American) be subsumed into "one identity."

BREAKING: Savera coalition defeats Hindutva-Zionist attacks against ethnic studies in Fremont, CA! On Wednesday, Fremont's school board voted UNANIMOUSLY to approve the district’s ethnic studies curriculum after Savera members showed up to defend ethnic studies from far-right attacks. 🧵:

The anti-caste movement had a major legal victory last week, with a US Federal Court quashing the spurious claim that protections against caste discrimination are "anti-Hindu"! Read the full judgement here: cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op... and our summary below: (1/6)

Vrindavan temple priests rejected demands to ban Muslim artisans from making deity's attires, standing against divisive politics. This is the pluralism Hindutva fears. Read more: buff.ly/TwBbWL1 #Unity #RejectHate

A Happy Holi, Phagwah and Hola Mohalla to all our members and friends celebrating! Special greetings from Savera member @hfhr.bsky.social...

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

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)

A happy International Women's Day from all of us at Savera! See our video below featuring @sunitav.bsky.social, @prachipatankar.bsky.social and others standing together to fight patriarchy in all its forms, from gender-based violence to the ongoing attacks on abortion and bodily autonomy.

Bay area people: Don't miss this powerful event by ASATA and friends tomorrow! Happy Spring of Solidarity!

After a difficult winter full of far-right attacks on our basic human rights, Savera is launching a Spring of Solidarity — an effort to respond to the far-right both within and outside our community with a positive, empowering and united message!

Mexican communities across the U.S. are mobilizing against Trump’s deportation threats, staging widespread protests in urban barrios. Despite their scale, these demonstrations have received little mainstream media coverage.

HAF knows where the anti-Indian rhetoric is coming from: their MAGA partners. But note the passive voice: HAF refuses to name who must stop fanning the flames of bigotry, because their leaders also want a place at Trump inauguration galas.

"Prosecutors claim Scantlebury made comments about "Indians being bad" and stated something along the lines of "I just beat the sh-- out of that Indian doctor."" The far-right's online vitriol has real-life consequences, from Charlottesville to lynch mobs in India to this ghastly attack.

Ramzan Mubarak!

@ajenglish.bsky.social dropped an op-ed exposing FACTS about the hypocrisy of Hindu supremacists: cheer on MAGA racism, then cry "Hinduphobia" when it blows back on you! A🧵with excerpts from this hard-hitting piece by racism scholar Somdeep Sen, "It's regular old racism, not 'Hinduphobia'":

A striking example of how various far-right movements share a common animating thread of conspiratorial narratives: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Huge spike in hate against South Asian Americans. We won't forget the Hindu supremacists who cheered on MAGA. You are complicit in making our communities unsafe.

Immigrants are an undeniable part of America’s fabric. We refuse to be silenced by the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant agenda. That’s why today we’re launching manyrootsonehome.org — a new advocacy campaign in support of immigrant and AAPI communities. 🧵⬇️

"It should be plain by now that the Indian immigrants (pro-Trump or otherwise) who provide the thin bulwark between Trumpism’s tech-bro wing and its blatantly ethnonationalist wing will be easy sacrifices down the line." slate.com/technology/2...

Savera organizer @prachipatankar.bsky.social was on a panel this weekend at the @harvard.edu India Conference, discussing anti-caste organizing in the diaspora in front of a packed room!

"the Hindutva movement is now fundamentally tied to MAGA, hitched to being an obsequious satellite... it has figures who might take Hindutva catchphrases into spaces of unprecedented power, but the extent—and price—of this influence now seems to hinge upon total surrender to MAGA priorities"

Ahead of Narendra Modi's visit to Washington, read Usha Kumar on the affinities between Hindutva and Trumpism, the changing role of the Indian diaspora in American politics, and being stuck in MAGA's orbit. You won't want to miss this one!
