Welcome to the Hindu-Jewish Coalition

IN RESPONSE TO RACISM

Adapted from the writings of Martin Niemöller

​

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Hindus, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Hindu.

Then they came for the Chinese, and I did not speak out— Because I was not Chinese.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

We cannot be complicit through silence. Hate and bigotry have no place in our community.
