Happy Ambedkar Jayanti! Today marks the 132nd anniversary of Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s birth. A Dalit polymath, author of the Indian constitution, and social reformer, Ambedkar is beloved to this day because of his passionate advocacy for all caste-oppressed peoples. His call to “educate, agitate, and organize” continues to motivate and inspire the contemporary struggle for Dalit human rights. Babasaheb led an inspirational life in service to other Dalits, Bahujans, and Adivasi folks in his community. For instance, in a bold act of community protest and self-respect, Ambedkar converted to Buddhism along with 400,000 of his followers. He was a champion of equality, education, intellectual curiosity, and feminism. We hope you will take the opportunity on this Ambedkar Jayanti to reflect on how each of us can heal from caste by working together to eradicate it! Take action and support our Dalit community members this Ambedkar Jayanti by becoming 1 of the 50 monthly donors we are seeking this month – link in bio. Every investment goes towards our caste equity organizing work. Jai Bhim! #dalithistory #jaibhim #ambedkarjayanti

Read why Ashwini K.P., the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance at the United Nations, supports SB 403. She is the first Dalit woman to hold this role and deeply understands the pressing need to ban caste discrimination. Ashwini reminds us that all states have a “duty to legislate effectively in order to eliminate racial discrimination”. It’s simple: the passage of SB 403 is a matter of ensuring basic human rights to all Dalit peoples. The Special Rapporteur also writes, “Given the upcoming vote on this bill, I wish to remind the California Senate of their responsibilities under international law to provide protections against caste-based discrimination, as well as to enable safe public participation for caste-oppressed individuals in all processes to develop relevant policies and laws”. We are grateful for Special Rapporteur Ashwini K.P. ‘s support of our mission to end caste-based discrimination and we appreciate her bringing her Dalit feminist perspective to this issue.
