SAGA presents: Codename "South Asia"

The South Asian Graduate and Professional Association at Yale (SAGA) welcomes you to attend its first game night of the semester, Codename “South Asia”. Codenames is a popular board game where two teams try to guess their own set of words before the other team while avoiding the other team’s words. We plan to add a “SAGA-touch” to this game by creating a South Asian version that will be played online. All incoming and returning Yale students are welcome to attend! As always, Bring Your Own Chai(BYOC) and join us for an evening of word-guessing!

This led to President Trump’s July 14 Executive Order suspending or eliminating special and differential treatment Hong Kong received under U.S. law. In Washington, pro-democracy activists have aggressively courted lawmakers and advocated for U.S. legislation supporting Hong Kong self-determination.

Their actions revealed the ways that ICE used the COVID-19 pandemic to further repress prisoners.
