Hello! I wrote a long feature for the @OttawaCitizen on an indefinite daily protest by Indo-Canadians in Ottawa - in solidarity with #FarmerProtests in India.
Why Ottawa’s Indo-Canadians have been protesting every day, for more than two months https://t.co/F1lPbVVxkQ
One has allegations of terrorist arrack attacks on innocents & the other is a #ClimateActivist !
One became a Political poster girl MP, the other thrown in jail for climate activism. The new face of Authoritarian india !!

🌾🙏🏽 Thank you for coming everyone. Due to COVID and the dependency on BC team's plan, we were able finalise and communicate the event details at a short notice. So thank you again for showing your support- wether in person or virtually. Share your pictures and videos 🙏🏽🌾
Disha Ravi, a 21 yo climate activist, was arrested by Delhi Police for TWEETING in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest
India is criminalizing dissent, free speech, & expression - pillars of any democracy
Calling on all leaders to DEMAND Disha's immediate release #FreeDishaRavi
Corporate greed & exploitation knows no bounds, not only in the US but worldwide. While they work w/ corp. media & politicians to silence the most vulnerable, we must let India’s leaders know the world is watching & we #StandWithFarmers! #FarmersProtests https://t.co/mI2XLyfK99
