Savera: United against supremacy

Why Savera?

Savera means “new dawn.” We are excited to announce that we, a diverse group of Indian Americans and allies, are building a new dawn in the US.

As Indian Americans, we owe everything to the anti-racist and civil rights movements that have allowed us to find a home in this country. Our community has grown in influence, drawing strength from our diverse backgrounds, and rich legacies of anti-caste and anti-colonial movements in the subcontinent.

We choose unity over hatred. We choose the people over institutions that try to divide us. This is our movement to take our power back.

Why Now?

A global crisis is deepening with each passing day. Intersecting supremacist movements, across the world, are using their power to drive violence, crush dissent, and divide us.

But we’ve also seen—from protests to end war to the movement to dismantle racist institutions—that the people of the world are wide awake. And they are demanding an end to the supremacist ideologies that stand in the way of a truly diverse, inclusive, and just society.

Now more than ever, we must take a stand. Savera is part of this movement, and we’re inviting you to stand with us too. It’s time to create a new beginning.

Testimonials

This work is critical to understanding the evolving threats to a multiracial democracy. Our ability to develop a global understanding of this threat and its relationship to "othering" is key to the future of democracy. We are so grateful to the Savera coalition for this work.

From white nationalism to Zionism to Hindutva, it is clear that strongmen from all these contexts trade tactics, rhetoric, and technology to aid in their supremacist agendas. It is so essential that our intersectional movements build the counter-alliance needed to fight back — working within our communities and across them toward the promise of real multiracial democracy, freedom, and justice for all.

The extent to which Hindu supremacist groups are emerging as important players in global far-right and anti-Muslim networks is a matter of deep concern, and we hope Savera’s report sparks further investigation into the topic. Far-right extremist movements of all kinds are increasingly connected transnationally. We encourage all members of civil society to read this report.

I am heartened to see a rigorous and well-researched report on this phenomenon in the United States, and I encourage other researchers and scholars to give the report their full attention.

We're all up against a global alliance of supremacist, authoritarian political movements and leaders — from India and Israel, to Russia, Hungary, the United States, and beyond. More than ever, we need to build multiracial, interfaith solidarity powerful enough to fight back. Jews For Racial & Economic Justice is proud to be part of the essential coalition Savera is building.

The supremacist ideologies, be it Hindutva or the extreme right ideologies in America, are a threat to justice and a threat to women's equality and children's security.
