(A write-up verbatim by Savera):

“(Here is) Savera/ICWI’s latest research report on HAF, which is the most influential node in the Hindu supremacist network in the US.

The report documents the extent of its harms against our communities, its record of lobbying for the Modi regime, and how it sought to keep its ties to the more unsavoury parts of the Hindu far-right intact but covert.

It’s a comprehensive report that we’ve worked on for years and I hope you will read it carefully! (My colleague Ram who coordinates the Savera team is cc-ed as well.)

The stakes of the report are also important because it details how our own civil rights spaces and the Democratic Party gave HAF a base from which to build power, by uncritically accepting its claims to represent a minority and PoC group. HAF’s hard shift to the right has shown how deep a miscalculation that is proving to be – and why we all need to work urgently to nip its influence in the bud.

But we can’t do this alone and really need your help! Here are some ways you can support us:

    1. Share a public message supporting us on social media. HAF is infamous for its litigation and use of troll armies and so getting public support for our campaign also serves as the primary form of safety for Savera.
    2. If you are connected to any organizations, urge them to sign our declaration on Hindu supremacy. We have over 130 signatories but want to reach many more organizations.
    3. Sign-up for our closed-door briefing on Hindu supremacy and the multiracial far-right, set to be held on November 18 at 3 pm ET, here. We will use it as a space to share our analysis in further detail, take in your insights and suggestions, and strategize for the months ahead
    4. And share the report with at least 8-10 organizers in your circles. Savera is also available to host trainings or workshop about Hindu supremacy within your own community/organization.”
