Our elections belong to the people.
As a D.C. Human Rights Commissioner, I believe we must safeguard public confidence in our elections and ensure that military personnel remain separate from voting locations and follow the law.
The recent DHS post targeting “Mr. Singh” should concern all of us.
Government should not traffic in stereotypes, much less encourage Americans to decide who belongs based solely on a name, appearance, religion, or perceived national origin.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Sikhs are *still* being targeted and profiled for how we look.
Millions of Sikhs in the United States have the last name Singh, which means lion. We remain fearless in identifying as Sikhs—even when our government portrays us as enemies.

No one should fear for their safety while gathering in sacred spaces of worship, community, or belonging. We mourn alongside the victims’ families, the Muslim community in San Diego, and all those impacted by this act of violence.

At a time when hate incidents against South Asian communities are surging, and one in four Americans view Chinese Americans as a threat, amplifying this kind of bigotry pours fuel on an already dangerous fire and must be unequivocally condemned.

Grateful to Reps. Jayapal, Carson & Meng for leading this resolution on the 5th anniversary of the FedEx shooting.

Ogles’ Muslim‑ban bill + saying Muslims “don’t belong” = a Constitutional oath violated and communities targeted for hate. Muslim, South Asian, Arab & other communities deserve safety, not persecution. If we allow discrimination today, it spreads tomorrow.

Advancing Justice | AAJC and AJSOCAL dove into the FBI's data on anti-Asian hate in our latest report. AsianResourceHub.org was also updated to include the data. The report can be viewed here: tinyurl.com/3hpmbbp5

We condemn the hateful rhetoric in the Young Republicans group chat, and the Vice President’s dismissal of bipartisan outrage. Extremism should never be normalized. Leaders must reject hate and uphold the principles that make our democracy strong. shorturl.at/FQRjL
Hey @BillAckman does your outrage only kick in when the students are brown? Hard to take your silence seriously when you were calling on Harvard to name students, suspend them, and blacklist them from jobs.

New DOD policy lays bare a serious double standard. Our government can’t claim to lead on fighting antisemitism and anti-Christian bias while undermining religious liberty for those who serve. Faith is a constitutional right, not a favor from government. capac.house.gov/press-releas…
Grateful to the @CAPAC, Jewish Caucus, and @TheBlackCaucus and @sikh_coalition, @KamaljeetSKalsi, and others who have shown leadership on this issue.

ICE & DHS are echoing white supremacist rhetoric & using masked, unmarked raids like extremist groups. This fuels hate & endangers communities. End masked raids. Require clear ID. Confront extremism. Transparency isn’t optional.

The remarks that Rep. Wu has faced for standing up for democracy is shameful. They are an example of using racism to question allegiances based on ethnicity and are a dangerous attempt to incite hate and distract from the fight against redistricting in TX. tinyurl.com/jesdnw9a

“Too many Americans don’t remember Oak Creek—but we do. We remember the blood in the prayer hall. We remember the lives lost.“
“We also remember the courage of those who rose up in the face of trauma and terror in Chardi Kala – even in darkness, ever-rising spirits.”
New FBI data shows anti-Asian hate remains alarmingly high. 2024 was the 3rd worst year on record.
As I shared via @AAAJ_AAJC:
“Anti-Asian hate crimes are nearly 3x higher than pre-pandemic. These numbers are only the tip of the iceberg.”
We need action

Suddenly, everyone’s an expert on USAID.
Billionaires pushing “waste” narratives omit context to manipulate the public. Now we’re not talking about tax fairness or corporate accountability.
It’s a distraction. Don’t fall for it.

Like our friends at @sikh_coalition, we are concerned about the statement shared by Indian American lawmakers regarding the attempted assassination of a Sikh American in New York: xitter.cf/sikh_coalition/status/…
We express concerns regarding the statement released by Indian American Reps on the indictment of an Indian national's alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting several Sikhs in the US and Canada in coordination with an Indian govt employee and criminals. bera.house.gov/news/document…
