What an incredible afternoon of solidarity, courage, and community! 💛

On February 21, SAN, alongside @aapiequityalliance and @vietriseoc, brought our neighbors and families together to show that when we stand united, we are unstoppable.

Together, we send a clear message: we belong, we protect one another, and we move forward as one. Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out our strength is in our solidarity.

And this is just the beginning! We will continue fighting for justice, equity, and the safety of our communities.

A huge shoutout to our amazing dhol player @jupgonthebeat,
🥁 whose beats carried our message of care, courage, and collective power across the crowd, your rhythm reminded us all of the heartbeat of our community.

The South Asian Network honors Black History Month

The South Asian Network honors Black History Month and pays tribute to the leaders whose courage and vision have shaped the world we live in today. We stand in solidarity with the Black community in the ongoing fight for justice and freedom. We are deeply grateful to the Black activists and advocates whose work laid critical foundations for the immigrant rights movement. As we celebrate Black excellence, resilience, and joy, we also reaffirm our commitment to confronting anti-Blackness within our communities today and every day. Black history is not only a history of struggle, but also one of brilliance, culture, and triumph. We honor it and uplift it together.

Know Your Rights.
In light of recent reports, it’s critical for our communities to understand what ICE CAN and CANNOT do. This guide shares essential Know Your Rights information, including how to identify the difference between a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant, and what your rights are if agents come to your door.

These resources are available in Hindi, Punjabi, Nepali, and Bangla to support language access and clarity for our communities.

This information has been adapted from materials by the National Immigrant Law Center (NILC) @nilc
We are deeply grateful to NILC for their leadership, expertise, and continued work to protect immigrant rights.

📌 Save, share, and stay informed.

January is National Stalking Awareness Month.

Stalking is a serious crime that impacts safety, autonomy, and well-being often hidden behind myths of love, care, or tradition. This month, we’re sharing information to help our communities recognize stalking, understand its impact, and know that support is available.

The moments between the moments 🤍

The laughter, the chaos, the missed cues, the deep breaths, and the joy that happens in between.
As we wrap up this year, we wanted to share a glimpse of the very human, very real moments that make this work what it is. Behind every program, event, and win is a team and a community showing up with care, humor, and heart.
Here’s to everything we’ve built together, the lessons we’re carrying forward, and all that’s still ahead. We’re grateful for every laugh, every connection, and every person who makes this community possible.

Today is the last day to support our work this year. If you’re able, a gift today helps carry this care into the year ahead and ensures these moments continue.
Thank you for being part of our story.

Onward, together 💛

As the year comes to a close, we celebrate the moments, the people, and the collective strength that shaped our impact. Every program, every moment of impact, powered by you.
