Indian American fam: in the excitement over @KamalaHarris, let's *not*:
-Erase or de-center her Black identity
-Use model minority, exceptionalism or cultural tropes to convey that the whole community has now "made" it
-Accept that oppression & inequality have ended

Let's also focus on:
-Amplifying the policy demands of South Asian organizers
-Addressing anti-Blackness in systems *and* our own communities
-Ending the influence of Hindutva in US politics
-Holding accountable the Indian Americans who may work for the Biden Administration(2/3)
