Newly-elected Vermont state Senator Kesha Ram, the first woman of color elected to the Vermont Senate; Jenifer Rajkumar, the first Indian American woman elected to the New York State Assembly; and Ohio state Senator Niraj Antani, the first Indian-American elected to the Ohio Senate, are scheduled to join.The 2020 presidential election also holds special significance given Senator Kamala Harris’s historic nomination as the first Indian American and first woman of color on a major presidential ticket; Indiaspora’s Post-Election 2020 show comes on the heels of this watershed moment for the Indian American community as a whole, which has seen an Indian American candidate represented on the national stage this election cycle.What: Indiaspora Post-Election Analysis 2020When: Nov. 4th 7 - 11pm EST | Nov. 4th 4 - 8pm PST | Nov. 5th 5:30 - 9:30 am IST VirtualTo see the full agenda, and to register, visit here.
