The abduction & media trial of Dr. Usman Qazi isn’t new—Baloch women have faced the same, falsely linked to the Majeed Brigade. This time, the aim is clear: pressure Baloch students in Punjab & Islamabad, justify harassment & profiling, and silence voices against state atrocities in Balochistan. #StopHarassingBalochStudents #ReleaseDrUsmanQazi #SayNoToProfiling #JusticeForBaloch #EndEnforcedDisappearances #BalochStudentsUnderThreat #StopMediaTrial #Balochistan

Why do CoHNA’s Bahujan and Dalit leaders stand up against caste-discrimination policies in North America? In this clip from our recent session on the M-128 "Caste discrimination motion" in Canada, CoHNA Board Member @sudhaj12 shares why she began openly declaring her identity as a Bahujan. Speaking up is the only way of preventing one’s voice from being co-opted. Have you watched our full info session on M-128 yet? #SayNoToProfiling

Tell me about it #saynotoprofiling😂😂😂😂😂

#BREAKING: Remember all the claims around the harm that was about to be visited upon John Doe's family in India in California’s #CiscoCaste lawsuit, if his identity was revealed? Another lie falls apart. #EqualityLabs argued breathlessly that his parents would be subject to fates worse than death if people knew his last name. You might have forgotten, it was three years ago. But we haven't. In a vindication for sound jurisprudence, #California Judge Rosen calls the bluff on claims of great harm if this millionaire’s name was disclosed publicly. In a scathing rebuke, the Judge opined: "If claims of lack of promotion and name-calling from decades ago coupled with generalized statistics of continuing and sometimes violent discrimination were sufficient to allow a person to file anonymously there is scarcely any discrimination case in which a plaintiff could not meet the burden to proceed under a fictitious name." To recap the @Cisco case argument: @calcivilrights (CRD) claimed that caste based discrimination was the primary driver of the treatment meted out to "John Doe." at Cisco. Under threat of sanctions, they dropped the case against the two defendants, the prime accused. CRD claimed along with John Doe that the threat of harm was so imminent that his identity had to be hidden. Judge Takaichi called the bluff on that argument three years ago. CRD appealed to the superior court on a technicality and the appeals court conceded the technicality. Demagogues like @cmkshama hailed that as a great victory. In her ruling dated December 6, 2023, Judge Rosen denied the request and delivered a major blow. For background, here is how prime accused #SundarIyer described the decades long relationship between him and John Doe. youtube.com/shorts/V1vRRru_e… Judge's full (and brutal) opinion available at - cohna.org/wp-content/uploads… #caste #sb403 #Seattlecastelaw #CasteinUS #SayNoToProfiling

While the fight against #SB403 has seen the sweet taste of Justice - none of us should forget how an executive body like the Civil Rights Department #CRD treated its citizens targeting them for their Hindu last name and attaching the label of Castes and Brahmins - WITHOUT CONSENSUS This can happen to anyone of us who are Hindu Americans and profiling by last name can be a lurking danger. @calcivilrights Thanks to @HinduAmerican Foundation for their leadership in filing a lawsuit against Kevin Kish for the first amendment violations and unconstitutional targeting of Hindus in the now dismissed #Cisco Caste Discrimination case against the two managers. #Saynotoprofiling #Hinduism

Excellent article Jennifer Oliver O’Connell @asthegirlturns !! This bill is unnecessary and all senators & @aishabbwahab have confirmed this despite voting on party lines. As @SenBrianJones and @ShannonGroveCA have stated in their #VetoSB403 press release :  “We don’t have a #caste system in America or California, so why would we reference it in law, especially if caste and ancestry discrimination are already illegal? We are calling on @CAgovernor Newsom to do the right thing and veto this discriminatory, divisive, and unnecessary bill.”   If @GavinNewsom has any Presidential aspirations, he can rest assured that he will lose favor with many important voting blocs especially immigrants if he does not #SayNotoProfiling Congratulations Jennifer💕 on a well articulated write up @cabia_speakup

False accusations and the caste case at Cisco : @CittiMedia and #Castefiles collaborate to bring you another sharp clip about the dangers of #SB403 #SundarIyer details his trial by media and then the cover up that followed when the case was dismissed - why is no one talking of the prosecutorial abuse by the #CRD see castegate.org @CAgovernor Governor should know how the two managers were framed , named and shamed as “Brahmins” for a crime they never committed @Gavinnewsom Stand for Justice #VetoSB403 - A public farce and targeting of the entire #IndianAmerican community Watch 👀 youtu.be/UcfOHrqFHq8 #SayNoToProfiling #NoSb403 #caste #casteism #CasteinUS #CivilRights @cabia_speakup @RobBonta @ashajadeja @SuhagAShukla

A FIRST of its kind - a candid Conversation with #SundarIyer, the main #CiscoCaste case defendant who breaks his silence to talk about the sheer brazenness of the lies told by #California Civil Rights Department to trap him! Please amplify Sundar’s voice and let Governor @Gavinnewsom know why he needs to #VetoSB403. Hear about the depths of falsehoods he and the entire #IndianAmerican community faced, the dark times he went through and what made him overcome to fight back and ultimately triumph over a #WitchHunt run by one of the largest states in the US, against the broader #HinduAmerican community. #SayNoToProfiling #NoSb403 #caste #casteism #CasteinUS #cohna #SB403 #CivilRights @AGRobBonta @calcivilrights youtube.com/watch?v=7NVoYnDM…

A powerful article demolishes many prevailing myths conflating #caste with #colorism, name & diets. Thanks @nandiniwriter @AmericanKahani Governor @GavinNewsom one more reason to #VetoSB403 . Laws like #Sb403 are built on a fake #CasteInUS narrative @AGRobBonta #SayNoToProfiling #SB403 americankahani.com/perspecti…

Well said. "Slander is not a solution" and laws that are not facially neutral create more harm than good. #VetoSB403 #SayNoToProfiling #Sb403 #caste

No surprise to see the cosponsor of #SB403 in company with #sikhsforjustice -a terrorist group that this week warned #CanadianHindus to leave their homes in Canada and "return to India". Their #genocidal call is in keeping with #EqualityLabs own repeated calls for the dismantling of #Hinduism - #HateSpeech that the state of #California is now mainstreaming. Both organizations are proof that #Hinduphobia is often heavily driven by folks who share an ethnic, national or cultural background with #Hindus. Governor @GavinNewsom this is one more reason to #VetoSb403 and approve laws only after a scientific study has proved a #CasteInUS problem exists. The involvement of this same group in the #CiscoCasteLawsuit led to the massive overreach from @calcivilrights where two private individuals were hounded on a series of manufactured lies for years, before the case was ignominiously withdrawn. There is a long-standing practice to be vary of private players, influencing policy. Let’s not fall into a trap laid by private, for-profit companies with a vendetta against a minority faith, even if they masquerade as a #CivilRights or #HumanRights group. #castegate #SayNoToProfiling #caste #HinduAmericans #CoHNA #Hinduism

A pithy summary of the concerns of #IndianAmericans and #Hindus who came together in their hundreds on Saturday, to ask @GavinNewsom to #VetoSB403, including leaders from @APNADB_NA and CoHNA's own Board Member-quoted extensively. Opposition from #Dalits and #Bahujans , the targetting of #Hinduism via the #Hinduphobic word #caste, the lack of facial neutrality, the targeting of students, workers and entrepreneurs amid a complete absence of data are all important factors. Don't platform hate. @AGRobBonta #SayNotoProfiling #Sb403 indicanews.com/2023/09/11/ca…

Appeals from #Dalit leaders, young #students, technologists, faith leaders and thousands of California residents! Petitions from 125 organizations, collectively representing millions. So many reasons for Governor @GavinNewsom to #VetoSB403 . #SayNoToProfiling #SB403 newsbreak.com/news/315272135…

A powerful fact-laden piece from @AsraNomani cuts through the manufactured hype around #CasteInUS. With all the so called "evidence" regarding #caste discrimination in the US falling apart, @GavinNewsom -you have only one clear choice to make- #VetoSB403. Vote against a racist law seeking to profile folks based on religion. The 3-year hounding of #SundarIyer ,the death of #MilindMakwana , the stereotyping of #IndianAmerican tech workers is evidence of the deep damage already inflicted by the fake narrative. #SayNoToProfiling #SB403
