The Savera Coalition is united in its condemnation of the act of vandalism at a Hindu temple in Chino Hills. Political differences must never be litigated on, or in, houses of worship, and their politicization erodes the rights of our communities to freely gather and worship at these spaces.(1/4)

@sunitav.bsky.social from @hfhr.bsky.social follows up with her powerful comments about the global shift to the #farright and the importance of #FaithBased leaders and movements in addressing hatred, genocide, and religious nationalism - much of which is fuelled by religious supremacism.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.

The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.

This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.
