Have been on a lot of calls/texts today with American elected officials re Punjab, here's my recommendation to all: Every civic leader that believes in democratic values like freedom of speech and association must be prepared to advocate for them, even when it's an allied nation

At its heart, what's going on in Punjab is an attack on the revolutionary Sikh Spirit. So connecting to Sikhi will be our greatest act of resistance. From that, all else will spring.

Many have asked, “Jasjit, what can I do to speak up for Punjab?” Here’s one way, write to your congressperson. I’ve made it easy. Follow these listed steps. Sample text is in the subsequent tweets. Share widely. #Punjab #PunjabUnderSeige (1) IG Link: instagram.com/p/CqABDEWuObx/

Please keep watching Punjab. The human rights abuses continue. #Punjab #Modi

Black boys aren’t stereotypes shrink-wrapped in white fear, they’re just kids to be loved. #RalphYarl

it’s difficult to process the deaths of sikh activists who lived in the diaspora because these deaths disrupt this notion of safety/ protection that many sikhs sought with asylum/ as refugee in western countries & challenges us to contend w/ the reality of sikh dispossession

Breaking: Proud to join Sikh officials across the state in putting together and signing this joint letter to the India and Sikh Caucuses regarding the murder of Bhaji Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the involvement of the Indian state, and the threats against Sikh Americans.

Moving remarks from Manpreet Kaur regarding Indian culpability in the Nijjar murder and threats against Sikhs in California. She truly speaks from the heart in her role as city councilwoman and as representative of the Sikh Sangat.

I’m with the global south, indigenous peoples, local & global human rights organizations, countless unions and the multi-faith & racial coalition calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. What side you got?

I received an invite from the Biden administration for a Diwali event being held by the VP on nov 8. I decline any invitation from an institution that supports the collective punishment of a trapped civilian population—50% of whom are children.

Sad & frightening to see just how many people are silent today who claimed they cared about indigenous rights, anti-racism & collective liberation yesterday.

"Kaur’s case should enrage us all. We are not doing nearly enough to identify and support every high-risk domestic violence survivor and victim facing interlocking vulnerabilities." Mallika Kaur | Executive Director | Sikh Family Center Available here: sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Proud of my brother Raj Singh Badesha! First, and definitely not the last. ✊🏾

Immigration law, will undeniably be an all out assault under this administration. Trump’s win signals potential mass deportation, limiting asylum and ending birth right citizenship. Now, more than ever, seek legal advice from a reputable lawyer who will fight for you.

Secretary Marco Rubio This is nothing but political theater. The threshold requirement for obtaining a CDL license does not change based on whether or not you’re “American” or here on a visa. Using this accident (which most definitely was tragic) to single out foreign-born truckers is not the way.
