Vision Statement: Philadelphia South Asian Collective is building towards an oppression-free Philadelphia by dismantling all supremacist power structures within its own diasporic communities, in solidarity with allies, everywhere. Mission Statement: PSAC is an anti-hierarchical diasporic group that initiates and supports campaigns in the Philadelphia area. We inform, empower, organize, and advocate for our values, while de-centering our own privileges and prejudices. The continued growth and success of our movement is centered upon self-determination of historically and currently marginalized groups. Values: The work of PSAC is guided by our commitment to: Nurture an inclusive space centering historically marginalized voices Build and strengthen relationships with people, organizations and communities through genuine understanding and authentic compassion Hold ourselves and each other accountable to understand how we have internalized systemic violence and how that is impacting others; work together to reduce and eliminate that harm Pursue revolutionary justice rooted in the intersectionality of our lived experiences Keywords: anti-hierarchical anti-sexism femme empowerment connections to our Philadelphia community anti-racism, anti-caste, anti-capitalism BDS, occupied territories, Kashmir, Palestine, Ferguson outreach education active fight/activism empowerment disability justice lgbtqia reproductive justice solidarity with movements of the oppressed and exploited in South Asia the diaspora, and the US anti supremacist-society immigration sex workers mental health climate crisis We are a group that identifies as radical/progressive/leftist South Asians living and working in the greater Philadelphia region. We are looking for a sense of community with people who perceive themselves to be forward-thinking South Asians. Although most of us originate from many different worlds at the same time, we wanted to create a forum for Desis in Philadelphia to come together to build community, get to know each other, build politically, and of course, to eat some amazing South Asian food. We host monthly meetings.
