FIIDS appeals to registered Indo-Americans to vote

#IndoAmericanVotesMatter

Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies (FIIDS) Launched #IndoAmericanVotesMatter campaign for US Election 2024

The Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies (FIIDS), a U.S.-based non-profit institution for policy research and awareness, launched the #IndoAmericanVotesMatter campaign to increase the participation of American voters in the U.S. 2024 elections. As an immigrant minority, it is not only a civic duty, but it is also imperative for Indo-Americans to vote in the elections to get their voice heard.

As Indo-Americans encompass ~4.5 million in the United States, FIIDS encourages more participation in the election to augment Indo-Americans’ influence on policy matters. Both Democrats and Republicans should recognize the importance of Indo-Americans as they are concentrated in critical races spanning states such as Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Virginia, New Jersey, Texas, and California.

Call for Action: Please register, vote, and be heard!
