National Coalition of South Asian Organizations
    Providing services to, organizing, and advocating on behalf of South Asian communities


spacer

The South Asian community in the United States has a range of needs and concerns. As a community
of over 2.7 million individuals, South Asians come from diverse areas, speak many languages, and affiliate with various religions. Many South Asians confront challenges, barriers, and obstacles in their daily lives. Around the country, South Asians have organized non-profits, collectives, and volunteer groups to address these challenges, raise awareness, and organize South Asians for social change.

The National Coalition of South Asian Organizations is a network of community-based organizations that believe in common principles related to social change, and that provide services to, work with, convene, organize and advocate for South Asians in the United States.  SAALT currently coordinates the National Coalition.

OBJECTIVES

The National Coalition is a vehicle and forum through which community-based organizations can enhance their individual work and develop collective partnerships in order to bring about social change. The National Coalition will develop the strength of the community's voice in social change movements at the local and national levels.
