About
SAB2_edited_edited_edited.jpg
SAB%20Family%203_edited.jpg

South Asians for America (SAFA) is an idea that originated with the merger of two organizations, an original SAFA which was primarily an advocacy organization and South Asians for Biden (SAB), a grassroots organization which helped educate, engage and mobilize the South Asian Community to help elect President Biden in the 2020 General Election. 

 

The new SAFA was launched in early 2021 to build on the momentum and energy of South Asian Community engagement nationwide during the General Election in 2020 and Georgia Senate Special Election in 2021 in a strategic manner, to increase the political power, networks and capital of South Asians in the United States.
