Through the CAA, Kashmir, and Farm Bills crises we’ve seen a disturbing trend of increasingly intense state violence against civilians. As the worlds largest democracy, it is crucial that the Modi government respects their right to protest. https://t.co/ew2LHUu8nB
The Farm Bill protests in India are some of the largest, most diverse protests ever seen. India's farmers (just like America's) have every right to use their collective voice to oppose the spread of corporate agriculture.
The USA and India were built by small farmers, diversity, and democracy. We cannot stray from our shared values.
India must commit to peace, negotiate with small farmers, restore internet access, and reject discrimination.
India is one of the most hostile countries for women, esp Dalit women.
The aggression Modi's supporters (mostly male) have shown towards GT, Rihanna et all is perfectly in proportion to how aggressive they are to Indian women. This episode is a peak into India's #RapeCulture
The #FarmersProtest in India may feel far away. But their themes of police brutality, nationalism, & government propaganda are also our themes. Let's all #StandWithFarmers.
