I heard of this organization with the take back yoga campaign, and then learnt about their previous activities from their website.
As an American Hindu, I am often frustrated and angered with the patronizing and illiterate portrayals of our ancient religion in American culture and even academia. I am happy to have finally found an advocacy group that wants to correct these mistakes, and call attention to abuses that take place against Hindus and their religion by speaking up for Hindus everywhere in a rational, professional, informed way by which understanding can be increased, and bridges can be built.
After viewing their videos and seeing the founders speak intelligently, passionately, and professionally about these issues, I am convinced that they are superb ambassadors for our faith, and am happy to support their activities.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Articles in the popular media such as the New York Times, and CNN. I have also observed that they are making inroads as the goto spokesmen for Hindu-related issues in the press.
Ways to make it better...

Nothing really, other than having more campaigns!
