Journalist and reporters matter. The consistent reporting by journalists (not the state's useful idiots who claim "normalcy") is the reason why the Indian Govt through the MEA is on a diplomatic blitz on #Kashmir

“According to one survey, more than 80% of the news coverage on Jammu and Kashmir has been “critical” of the government’s moves."

👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽This matters.

So I urge all journalist and reporter to keep doing their jobs. Recently a journalist friend remarked that "this is the time that demands good journalist." #kashmir

👉🏽👉🏽As brown immigrants to this country, we are all beneficiaries of the great courage and actions of those who came before us. It is our moral duty to consistently speak with moral clarity.

👉🏽👉🏽Many activists and organisations will be on the ground working tirelessly to mobilise, so whenever you can donate to those who work tirelessly, so many of us can continue to enjoy these freedoms.

👉🏽👉🏽Finally, always speak up.
