The fight to protect the caste-oppressed from caste-based discrimination has been a long one — years for the victims and the larger anti-caste movement.
Until Monday, such discrimination was legal in Seattle. On Tuesday, we changed that.
This is OUR single largest victory.
Today is an important day for caste equity, social justice, and human rights.
This historic decision will have far-reaching implications for the oppressed castes in the United States, and everywhere where that the evils of caste have spread.
