Houston: In response to calls for racial justice last summer, Hindus of Greater Houston (HGH) donated about $8,000 to fund yoga-teacher-training for four Black students, each of whom is, in their own way, spreading the mind and body practice to marginalized communities.
Last summer, a 46-year-old Black man named George Floyd died after police officers in Minneapolis handcuffed and then pinned Floyd to the ground. For nearly nine minutes, a white officer kept his knee on Floyd’s neck, even as Floyd called out repeatedly “I can’t breathe.” This act of racial violence unfortunately only one of many such incidents against Black people in the United States shocked the nation, inciting protests and a widespread movement for racial justice. The movement has influenced many, including Hindus of Greater Houston, to act.

Meet Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis. The newly elected prosecutor announced her office was opening up a criminal investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of Georgia 2020 presidential election.
Playing a large role in the investigation is the leaked phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. You’ll recall two now-former Biglaw attorneys were also on the call, Cleta Mitchell and Alex Kaufman. Appearing on the Rachel Maddow show last night, Willis noted that Trump’s request on the call for a very specific number of additional ballots to be found could go a long way to establishing mens rea.
