Thenmozhi Soundararajan Instagram – We are so thrilled to celebrate the California Senate’s decision to back the anti-caste discrimination bill, SB 403! This historic bill would make California the first U.S. state to add caste as a protected category in its anti-discrimination laws. SB 403 provides explicit protections for those who have been systemically harmed due to caste bias and also provides legal consequences for those seeking to avoid responsibility for permitting or participating in caste discrimination and caste-based violence. This is a day for celebration for our community! Swipe to read our full statement on this historic victory. Jai Bhim!
We, along with so many others, have worked tirelessly over the years to make caste equity a possibility. We thank our partners @southasiannetwork, @jakaramovement, @aanusa, @techequitycollab, @apalanational, @cfa_united, @rising_majority, metoomvmnt, @brascbuals, Hindus for Caste Equity, and Sri Guru Ravidassia Community of California. | Posted on 12/May/2023 00:01:55
