Indian American Impact

Congratulations to @dramishshah.bsky.social on winning the Democratic primary for Arizona's 1st Congressional District! We're proud to have backed him in this primary, and we're all in to get him across the finish line in November.

We're proud to endorse Nirav Shah in Maine! From leading with steadiness to building one of the strongest grassroots campaigns in Maine, Nirav exemplifies people-first leadership. He'll lower health care costs, hold powerful interests accountable, and stand up for immigrant communities.

Born here. American. Full stop. Our place in this country was never in question. Today, that truth held.

We’re thrilled to endorse @salimforva.bsky.social for Congress in VA-07! As a first-generation immigrant who experienced homelessness and financial hardship firsthand, Saddam has spent his career fighting for immigrant communities, lowering costs, and delivering real results for Virginians.

Just this week, we brought hundreds of Indian and South Asian Americans to Capitol Hill to remind Congress of a simple truth: we belong. We showed up because our president consistently traffics in hate. And we will keep organizing, advocating, and building power in response.

We’re proud to endorse @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social for Mayor of Los Angeles! As Mayor, she’ll lead with honesty and urgency—fighting to lower rents, protect tenants’ rights, support small businesses, keep communities safe, and ensure the city is prepared for emergencies before they happen.

The Supreme Court hears oral arguments today in Trump v. Barbara. This executive order is a direct assault on the Constitution and birthright citizenship, threatening thousands of South Asian and immigrant families. We stand firm—we belong here and we will never stop fighting.

We're proud to endorse @nabilahislamparkes.bsky.social for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia! As the youngest woman ever elected to the Georgia State Senate—and the first Muslim and South Asian woman to serve—she has already made history while delivering real results for Georgia families.

Happy Holi to all who celebrate! May this festival of colors bring new beginnings, renewed hope, and the promise of brighter days ahead.

Ramadan Mubarak! May this month of reflection renew our strength, deepen our compassion, and bring peace, resilience, and hope to all who celebrate.

Through the Rainbow Coalition, Rev. Jesse Jackson intentionally brought Asian Americans into a shared multiracial movement for voting rights, anti-racism, and economic justice. He also urged the U.S. to send COVID vaccines to India when it mattered most. May he rest in power.

Early voting starts today in Illinois for the March 17 Primary Election! 🗳️ Check your registration, find your polling place, and make a plan to vote for @rajaforil.bsky.social at iwillvote.com/il.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

We’re proud to endorse Nirav Shah for Governor of Maine! A proven public health leader who guided Maine through COVID, Nirav brings steady, results-driven leadership to tackle affordability, lower costs, and build economic opportunities for every Mainer.

Today, I am announcing that I am seeking re-election as our State Rep. I am proud of my work to make life more affordable. But there is more to do. Can you help me continue to fight for my neighbors & Pennsylvania? secure.actblue.com/donate/26venka… Together, we can build a better future.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the momentum we’ve built together. 28 Impact-endorsed leaders won elections so far this year — expanding South Asian representation from statehouses to school boards. Help us build what’s next by chipping in today: secure.actblue.com/donate/india...
