What does SAPAC mean in ASIAN

SAPAC stands for South Asian Progressive Action Collective, which is a resource-sharing collective of progressive South Asian organizers and activists that works to amplify the voices and experiences of the South Asian diaspora in pursuit of social, political and economic justice.

SAPAC seeks to connect, empower, and bring visibility to existing efforts by South Asians living in the United States for their communities. It also aims to create a platform for discussion, education, coordination and support among those involved in movements for social justice. Additionally, it works towards developing an understanding of intersectional identity politics through dialogue on topics relevant to activism related to gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity and immigrant status.

SAPAC provides its members with resources such as online workshops and webinars on topics related to organizing efforts by the South Asian community. Additionally, it holds dialogues about artistic work that can be used as tools for grassroots organizing efforts within movement spaces. Members also have access to workshops led by experienced activists working on relevant issues from across the US.

SAPAC hosts numerous types of events throughout the year at various locations around the US including virtual gatherings such as webinars/zoom calls/conference calls; regional skillshares; panel discussions; screenings; cultural programming; art exhibitions; town halls; policy briefings; story circles; workshops; caucuses etc.. These events provide spaces for community members to come together and strengthen collective knowledge on relevant issues while deepening relationships with one another.
