Let's Get New Jersey Lawmakers To Condemn Anti-Hindu Hate
The New Jersey Senate and Assembly have introduced two historic resolutions (SCR65 and ACR78), which recognize and condemn anti-Hindu hate and bigotry while celebrating the contributions of Hindus in New Jersey and beyond.
New Jersey is home to one of the largest Hindu populations where the community has faced bigotry (from the Dotbusters in the 80s to attacks on temples or on individuals for their religious background).
Beyond that, there has been a rise in anti-Hindu hate on social media and a slew of temple attacks – a total of 9 since just 2024. In 2025, the Krishna Temple near Spanish Fork, Utah was targeted with a minimum of 20-30 bullets, even while devotees were inside the temple.
Take action today! Let us ensure that our lawmakers recognize this and condemn it.
