As 2024 comes to a close, we at Hindus for Human Rights are proud to reflect on a year where our impact reached new heights on campuses, in Congress, and across the media landscape.
This year, we stood as a stalwart support for students nationwide, creating resources and fostering solidarity. Our inaugural Hindu-Muslim Harmony Fellowship completed its first year, delivering transformative programming that reshaped campus culture and structures, building bridges in ways that will last for generations.
On Capitol Hill, our influence deepened as we became a trusted voice for policymakers. Through briefings, testimony, and expert insights, we shaped critical conversations on human rights and justice. In the media landscape, we solidified our role as the go-to resource for major networks and outlets in the U.S. and globally, amplifying a progressive Hindu perspective on Indian American politics and South Asia.
This year, with your support, we’ve not just grown in influence—we’ve become a cornerstone of movements for justice and inclusion. |
