Action Highlight: Hindu Heritage Month
Hindu American Foundation (HAF) recently sent out an email noting that October is Hindu Heritage Month! This is a great opportunity to ask our elected leaders to recognize October as Hindu American Awareness and Appreciation Month (HAAAM), part of the larger Hindu Heritage Month (HHM) campaign
Below please find an email template and draft resolution to submit the request to your respective city and county councils.

This briefing will focus on understanding the Hinduphobia which still exists to this day in our community and our very own educational system.
The derogatory prejudices faced by Hindus at Rutgers University will be highlighted as well as the true scope and depth of such a problem.
