The South Asian Forum aims to tell the story of South Asians through the lens of its organizations and organizing work.  From one-one-one interviews with community organizations to an extensive history and framework of South Asians in the U.S., this Forum hopes to capture the deep and rich history of South Asian collective action in the U.S. 

In addition, the Forum brings together a collection of various resources and tools, such as an online directory of organizations and a census fact sheet, to aid those working in or interested in the South Asian community.

Through the collection of data, sharing of resources, and storytelling we can identify current and emerging issues, barriers and gaps, and develop sustainable strategies for the future. By examining our history and determining our future as a community here in the United States as well as within the Diaspora, we can understand our critical role in the local, national and international issues that favor on the side of a just and equitable world.

Finally, we celebrate our victories as a community but also as a powerful network that is strong because of its richness, its flexibility, and its care for the world, the environment and the people. We are looking back in order to move forward.
