DRUM – Desis Rising Up & Moving

A Jackson Heights-based powerhouse organizing working-class South Asian and Indo-Caribbean immigrants. DRUM fights racial profiling from the NYPD and FBI (e.g., surveillance of Muslim communities via the “Handschu” case). They run youth programs against school militarization and lead campaigns like Stop “Stop-and-Frisk” and No Muslim Ban Ever, linking local policing to global imperialism.
