Need all of you to act on this and encourage others within your network.   

*Diwali Bill - AB268*:  

We have been tracking this bill for months, it has achieved bipartisan support throughout its journey and is currently on the Governor’s desk.   
Gov Newsom has the power to veto it.   In his email, he mentioned he has received a plethora of requests from other communities. 

We need *all of you and your communities* again!   
Please have all your friends/family members email the governor’s office and send out a message encouraging the passage of this very important bill.

*Suggested verbiage (short and to the point) to the governor: *

Dear Governor Newsom:
California has one of the largest population of Indian Americans in the United States.   Let’s make history and pass AB 268 and designate Diwali as a state holiday.

We thank you for your support of the Indian American community!
