✨ It’s here! Today, the first day of #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, we’re proud to share “Sanctuaries: In Yours I Found Mine” (https://t.co/Yo5hQtqk40)—an anthology of 20 South Asian survivor stories by @SouthAsianSOAR. This has been a dream of ours for years. Here’s why:

Today I learned about a term called a "lifequake," a significant and unexpected shift in the trajectory of your life that initially feels devastating but has the beneficial outcome of catalyzing personal growth, transformation and rebirth.

4. Sanctuaries is both an offering and an urgent invitation: to believe and stand with survivors, to spark reflection and conversation, and to join the movement for a future free of violence.

Our hearts are heavy as we witness gender and power-based violence persisting in our communities and echoing globally. This year, we're honoring the 12 South Asian lives lost to GBV in our series, Their Light Remains. Learn more: https://t.co/qM0hGjDMOA (1/8)

We're so delighted to announce the inaugural cohort of our Reflective Journalism Project with @indiegrafmedia!

These folks were chosen for their vital perspectives & ability to use storytelling to drive social impact. We can't wait to see what they're able to accomplish!

His name Wadie Al Fayoume. Killed at the age of 6 for being Palestinian and Muslim. Stabbed 26 times in his Chicago area home.

The Administration, elected officials, and the media for the past week have ignored Palestinians, and sold the general public lie after lie. Day after day we warned about the uptick in hate crimes, and how hate rhetoric will lead to hate violence.

When @sarasidnerCNN goes live on air on @cnn and pushes a debunked lie of beheaded babies, what do you think will happen? When networks give airtime to racist Israeli leaders to demonize our people, and push the talking points of a right-wing foreign government, this is the result.

You have vilified the entire population of Arabs.
This didn't have to happen.
The sad reality is that it may happen again.
