A vigil for the students we lost
We gathered in Dublin to remember students who died because of systemic corruption in India's education system. Our video from the vigil was reposted by CJP socials, so it reached well beyond Ireland.
ਅਸੀਂ ਵਤਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਨੌਜਵਾਨ ਲਹਿਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਬੁਲੰਦ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਡਬਲਿਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਥੇਬੰਦ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। ਹੁਣ ਤੱਕ ਜੋ ਕੀਤਾ, ਇਹ ਹੈ।

When the call went out for protests at Jantar Mantar, we answered with a solidarity protest in Dublin that Saturday. We also released a solidarity video and a Statement of Solidarity. Share them on your socials and show people back home they are not alone.
More than 70 people came to the Spire, part of a global day of solidarity under the banner "Jantar Mantar is Everywhere." Turnout more than tripled in a week. We read a collective statement and held poetry, songs and speeches, and unfurled the Indian tricolour for the detained protesters. Our demands: the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, a reversal of SIR, restoration of deleted names to the electoral rolls, and an end to the delays in Umar Khalid's case.
Our third protest in three weeks took our voices to the embassy door in Ballsbridge, in step with protests in Brussels, Barcelona, Toronto and Vancouver. We read a collective statement, unfurled the Tiranga for those in detention and opened the floor to poetry, songs, speeches and stand-up.
