Dear Friend,
The month of May revealed to us some grave realities of our existence--shootings, lynchings and murders--where hate metamorphosed into an extreme form of violence due to patriarchy, caste, religion, etc., costing lives. As we mourn the lives of those lost, we should also realize that the quest for justice is difficult as those committing the crimes are often the same who dominate the most powerful institutions. The above verses ruminate on the same, and help us strive to ensure justice by raising our voices against those in positions of power.
It is in this spirit that, over the past month, we have sprung into action, continuing our advocacy for pluralism, civil rights, and human rights for all in a number of fields—including some powerful in-person events. Read on to learn more!
