On September 27, Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, will be hosted at SAP Center in San Jose, California, as part of his global PR campaign. Join us at the event on September 27, in safe permitted free speech areas, to tell the other side of the story.
Stand up for India's religious minorities, women, LGBTQ people, historically-marginalized castes, Dalits and adivasis — as well as everyone who loves a safe and clean environment, free speech, free Internet, and the right to openly debate and disagree.
#ModiFail
India’s celebrated values of pluralism and tolerance are under severe attack since Mr. Modi assumed office as Prime Minister. According to the Modi government’s sources, attacks against religious minorities are up 25% since last year. His own ministers are engaged in a malicious hate campaign against Christians and Muslims.
Narendra Modi speaks eloquently of Digital India, but individuals posting comments against Modi or his peers on Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media sites have repeatedly faced arrest.
#ModiFail
Protest begins at 2 pm to greet people and media arriving early to find seats at what is expected to be an overflow crowd. Modi is expected to speak after 5 pm.
Bus routes: 22, 522, 63, 64, 65, 68, 181, Hwy 17 Express, MST 55, LRT, Caltrain, Capital Corridor
