SAALT

Our new approach to hate vio­lence is to create space for the par­tic­i­pa­tion and lead­er­ship of hate vio­lence sur­vivors.

We hope that the @EDNYAlerts US District Court will give leniency to Urooj Rahman. Urooj has advocated for justice and worked in public service all of her young adult life. She deserves a second chance. We believe justice and compassion call for time served. #KeepUroojFree

@SAALTweets in latest @FiveThirtyEight article by #ZohaQamar. Reminding candidates & electeds before Election Day that hate violence is not about interpersonal differences in opinion. It’s ab racist gov’t policies that criminalize POC & justify violence. fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-d…

One year later, we #StandWithThe6 human rights organizations for Palestinian freedom! These orgs do essential work to expose Israel’s human rights abuses against Palestinian people, and that’s why the Israeli govt is trying to shut them down (#IfWeDisappear).

An important account from NCSO member @southasiansoar of South Asian voices in the gender based violence movement utilizing a structural and systemic lens to understand the challenges survivors face within the limits of short term interventions and intentionally broken systems.

Proud to@support @southasialeft in their event Re: Pakistan that isn’t just about rapid response during crisis, but about the long-term underlying factors of climate imperialism, structural adjustment, & worldwide gutting of social spending. Donations will go to WDF in Pakistan.

Excited to have been part of developing a meaningful voter guide led by @MuslimsForJF that is less about the personal identities of candidates and more about evaluating their public values on issues that matter to our communities. Check it out before hitting the polls!

The smearing of @lsarsour is a cautionary tale re: * How anti-Palestinian hate/Islamophobia endangers us * The result when liberals endorse smearing left voices for justice * How vulnerable our movements are AND why the powerful are so threatened by us nytimes.com/2022/09/18/us/…

BREAKING: Exposé on how @lsarsour was targeted and exploited by Russian operatives helping Trump. Essential, head-shaking article from @EllenBarryNYT shows how disinformation and surveillance harm our movements, leaders, and our democracy. nytimes.com/2022/09/18/us/…

Not only will white supremacy thrive with these expansions, but mental health, substance use, and resistance to injustice by communities of color will continue to be weaponized against us.

Proud to join this group of organizations to call out @POTUS on today’s #UnitedWeStandsummit and its goal of expanding counterterrorism, policing, and surveillance under the guise of addressing white supremacist violence.

So excited to be part of the powerful Muslim Abolitionist Futures policy working group in co-creating this tool that demonstrates how abolition is a quite practical pathway that requires a commitment to learning, investing, and responsible experimentation. We’re here for it!

SAALT is proud to join 40+ organizations calling for justice now from @vanitaguptaCR for South Asian and Palestinian students entrapped by fake university set up by ICE. nipnlg.org/pr/2022_9Aug-U…

SAALT is on the ground in Oak Creek today with local community marking this somber anniversary.

IAMC today vehemently condemned the unjustified dentition of prominent Indian-American civil rights attorney Asim Ghafoor by the UAE authorities and called for his immediate release. @UAEEmbassyUS @ADPoliceHQ @USAinUAE #FreeAsimNow

As @POTUS continues his #warcrimestour cozying up to apartheid and authoritarianism in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and UAE, we demand him to call for the release of U.S. citizen Asim Ghafoor now.

.@POTUS is in Israel right now where the Israeli government has begun forcing 1,000+ Palestinians out of their homes in Masafer Yatta. The US response? Silence. @POTUS use your power to support Palestinian demands for freedom and to stop Israeli war crimes.

We will do so through workshops and hangouts over food; 1:1 semi-structured interviews and surveys on personal experiences of healing and justice; mental health coaching sessions; a culminating healing session; and an ongoing survivor-led, survivor-centered network.
