#Alert: In the wake of multiple anti-Hindu hate crimes over the last month alone, we called for unity & solidarity. Response?

Today, instead of standing with Hindus, @IAMCouncil released a @DemsTeaneck resolution demanding that the @FBI do surveillance of #HinduAmerican orgs.

The @DemsTeaneck @iamc resolution uses a slur commonly used by #antiSemites, against Hindus. It actually calls Hindus “infilitrators” and paints Hindu advocacy as insidious.

When Hindus meet legislators and advocate on issues, it is not something to condemn. It is being American

The @DemsTeaneck resolution also lies about the million emails HAF’s letter campaign sent to colleges over the unethical use of college logos for the Hinduphobic DGH conference. Not a single letter was sent to Audrey Truschke as they were sent to @RutgersU admin.

Sure, @IAMCouncil @DemsTeaneck are free to advocate for pet issues such as HR 1196 or 417, but demonizing #HinduAmericans in the process is racist—it is also #Hinduphobia.

Dear @GMJohnsonNJ @SenatorMenendez @CoryBooker @TheDemocrats, we ask you to condemn @DemsTeaneck’s attack on HinduAmerican 501 (c)(3) charities demanding FBI surveillance.

We are in regular touch with @CivilRights @FBI & we will discuss this attack by @IAMCouncil @DemsTeaneck.
