Last night, speaking to over 1,000 students at the James Talarico rally, I looked at the young women standing behind me and thought about the future we’re leaving them.
And I am angry. I am sick and tired of watching hate and division become normal.
“Our children should not have to spend their entire childhood fighting against cruelty.”
The next generation deserves better. Texans deserve better.
Vote for James Talarico for U.S. Senate. #texas #vote #JamesTalarico

My family and I were inside our Hindu temple in Aurora when a neo-Nazi tried to carry out a massacre. His rifle jammed.
When anti-Indian racism is laughed off or dismissed as “not that bad,” we give hatred room to grow.
We can't wait for another attempted massacre to speak out.
We’re proud to announce our last round of candidate endorsements for 2026 — South Asian leaders committed to serving our communities at every level of government, from statehouses to school boards.
Meet the advocates who are working to build a better future for the people they serve and make a plan to vote today 👇🏾
We’re proud to endorse @surendran4judge for re-election as 240th District Court Judge in Fort Bend County, Texas!

We’re excited to endorse Megha Chawla for San Carlos School Board in California!

I have been an @amyactonoh supporter from the beginning. Always will be.
But these comments are ridiculous. @VivekGRamaswamy is a vile human. Period. Not because he is South Asian. But because he is really just a bad person. Stop conflating the two.

The uncovered plot against a Hindu temple in Aurora, IL, is the most recent in a series of targeting against South Asians. But this isn't just an attack on one community—it’s an attack on religious freedom, racial equality, and our fundamental right to live without fear.
This November, let’s turn solidarity into action and elect leaders who expand upon our freedoms and the opportunity to live the American Dream.
I am horrified that a white supremacist allegedly attempted to massacre Indian Americans at a Hindu temple in Aurora. This is where the poison of anti-Indian hatred and white supremacy can lead, and we cannot wait until innocent people are killed to take it seriously. I am grateful to the coworkers who sounded the alarm and the law enforcement officers who intervened. Every American deserves to live and worship without fear, and we must stand together against hatred in all its forms. dailyherald.com/20261014/cri…

This is the choice for #AZ01 voters: a pragmatic, effective Democrat or a hardcore partisan MAGA Republican who'll be a rubber stamp for Trump.

My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora, unaware that a Neo-Nazi was outside with an AR-15-style rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition.
His gun jammed. That malfunction saved lives. We cannot rely on luck to stop the next attack. We must confront the hatred driving this violence.

Really, Secretary Rubio? Half a million hateful posts targeting South Asians appeared on X/Twitter since Trump took office.
Anti-Indian hate is on the rise, and this administration needs to acknowledge its role in fueling it.

This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.
We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga.
It was an honor to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city — especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week.
May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another.
Jai Mata Ki.

I was honored to join @NYCMayor at Om Shakti Temple in Jackson Heights to celebrate Durga Puja.
Over the last week, we’ve spent this time in community, honoring the triumph of good over evil, motherhood and feminine power in this universe, and righteousness over ignorance.

The attempted shooting at @CongressmanRaja’s temple is a harrowing reminder of the threats facing Hindu communities and other communities targeted by religious and racial hatred.
I signed this letter demanding that the FBI investigate this incident as a potential hate crime.
I led 105 lawmakers in demanding the FBI investigate the attempted mass shooting at my family’s Hindu temple in Aurora as a potential hate crime.
We must confront the rising tide of anti-Indian hate and the online threats putting our communities at risk.

Thank you, @CongressmanRaja. We’re so glad you and your family are safe.
105 members of Congress signed on to stand with our communities.
No one should have to live in fear in their place of worship.
