Standing in Solidarity: HfHR Joins Actions to Confront ICE’s Cruelty
Yesterday in New York City, faith leaders, organizers, and elected officials joined forces to confront the cruelty of our immigration system. Hindus for Human Rights was proud to stand alongside immigrant neighbors in two powerful actions.
At 26 Federal Plaza, our NYC Organizer Vrinda Jagota joined the New Sanctuary Coalition’s Jericho Walk, circling the ICE building in prayer—calling for walls of injustice to come down.
Meanwhile, our Executive Director Sunita Viswanath stood with faith leaders as elected officials staged a bold sit-in on the 10th floor, demanding access to detained immigrants. Eleven officials, including NYC Comptroller Brad Lander and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, were arrested.
This is a movement of prayerful resistance and bold action—standing against a system profiting from fear, detention, and deportation.
