It saddens us to see the conditions prevalent in India. We condemn the fascist acts of violence being inflicted on countless innocent lives in Delhi-and beyond-under the guise of nationalism. We are also devastated by the support shown to Modi's initiation of genocide by foreign governments and bodies. The e board would like to extend its undying support to all Indian and Non Indian general body members and students affected by this crisis. We are here to help, talk and entertain any ideas on how we as an organization can hold space for such a prominent, exigent global concern. Please feel free to reach out at [email protected] or individually to our Co-Presidents, Noorjehan and Jing ([email protected] and [email protected]) if there's anything we can do to help.

Being in positions of privilege calls for a collective and individual sense of awareness of not just what's happening in the United States of America, but the world at large. Here are some sources to know more about the CAA, Modi's agenda and the situation in India right now:

We're also renewing our efforts to remain active and timely in addressing issues of this nature more often. We are open to suggestions for improvement.

Be safe, and here's to hoping for a more humane world.
