Alliance of South Asians Taking Action (ASATA)

While our group is not primarily South Asia-focused, we see strong and explicit linkages between human rights issues in the United States, and those in South Asia. We stand with our allies for human rights and Indo-Pakistan peace, and against caste and communal oppressions, particularly in those areas where we are best able to leverage our position as South Asian Americans.

Our actions:

• Involvement in Indo-Pakistan peace events
• Organizing around a Bay Area rape case impacted by overtones of communal violence
• Support for Bhopal solidarity actions
