Amplifying the South Asian voice in the elections and beyond
This election marks a turning point in the participation of South

robust South Asian voter turnout at the polls on Election Day; steady
involvement with political campaigns; and bids for local and national
office on the part of South Asians. We encourage South Asians
around the country to continue to vigorously engage in all aspects of civic
life, and to lend our voices and energy to creating change in our
communities.
