Indian American Impact

Impact elevates the voices of Indian and South Asian Americans to protect democracy & ensure govt reflects the values of the people it serves.

It was my honor to join my colleagues in the Assembly and community members across New Jersey to honor Sikh Awareness and Heritage Month on the floor of the New Jersey Assembly.

The core tenets of justice, equality, and service that bind the Sikh community are also those that make New Jersey great. As the Sikh community continues to grow and prosper in our state, so do the contributions that lift up our neighbors and make New Jersey one of the best places to live anywhere in the country.

It is so energizing getting to canvass and earn votes from people across #nj07. From door knocking, greeting people at diners, to connecting with commuters this is democracy in action! I am proud to be an American and exercise my right to participate in our voting system!

[Nirav D. Shah @nirav_maine]

In this upcoming election, I’d be honored to be your first choice, but if not, I’d love to be your second choice!

Because second choices are still pretty good…. most of the time. 😎

[Suhas Subramanyam @SuhasforVA]

I'm honored to be the Democratic nominee for VA-10. From now until Election Day in November, I'll be fighting to keep this seat blue and flip seats across the Commonwealth and the country so we can deliver a Democratic majority in Congress.

[Nirav D. Shah @nirav_maine]

Today, I’m proud to release our final ad of the primary campaign.

Maine needs a governor guided by evidence, motivated by compassion, driven by urgency, and committed to our shared responsibility to care for one another.

We’ve come together before to tackle tough challenges. I’m ready to do it again as your governor.

Ready to bring the fight. And honored to be in the race! 🇺🇸💪🏽

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Trump’s racist rhetoric targeting Indian and Chinese Americans and immigrants is unacceptable.

This is all to distract from Republicans’ failure to help Americans who cannot afford gas or groceries. Co-leading legislation to condemn this disgusting language.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

There are 1.2 MILLION legal immigrants waiting for approval on their adjustment of status green card applications. And USCIS says we're not processing you. We're taking your money to pay for our new police force. Thanks. GTFO.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

🚨 🚨 🚨 NEW: A shocking @USCIS memo seems to declare that hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in this country and applying for green cards must instead apply for visas abroad; which could MASSIVELY disrupt lives.

🧵 on what we know, and what we don’t.

[Indian American Impact @IA_Impact]

Naturalized citizens have served this country in uniform, built businesses, raised families, and been elected by the American people. Suggesting they are somehow less qualified to serve in Congress is both un-American and deeply revealing, especially when the outrage seems to depend entirely on who those immigrants are and where they’re from.

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.

We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens. This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.

The people writing America's laws, confirming America's judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country.

For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first. We see it every day. This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

My parents brought me to this country as an infant in search of a better life. That’s what America is all about.
Rep. Nancy Mace’s proposed constitutional amendment to bar naturalized citizens from serving in Congress, on the federal bench, and in Senate-confirmed positions is morally wrong. We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder against the bigotry and hate behind it.

[Indian American Impact @IA_Impact]

- @RepNancyMace apparently.

Today’s GOP, folks!

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Nancy Mace’s legislation to ban naturalized citizens from government service is hateful, it is insulting to our country’s history, and it is rooted in racism.

I call on all my colleagues — including my Republican colleagues who are naturalized citizens — to condemn this.

🎉 We're heading to a runoff! Georgia is ready for change. Let's bring this home on June 16!

[Indian American Impact @IA_Impact]

We are heartbroken for the victims, their families, and our Muslim brothers and sisters grieving today.

Words matter.
Hate has consequences.
And we will not be silent.

[Rep. Suleman Lalani, M.D. @DoctorLalani]

This breaks my heart as a Texan and an Ismaili Muslim. The Ismaili Center, Houston was built as a place for dialogue, unity, and tolerance.

Hate has no place in Texas and our diversity is what makes our state truly standout.

There must be consequences for this type of hate but we must also come together to prevent future acts of hate with unity and love.
