Welcome to Desi Voices !

South Asian Americans are making history every day—running for office, shaping policies, and standing up for our communities. But too often, our voices go unheard. Desi Voices is here to change that.

What can you expect? A platform for real conversations and bold ideas. Here, you’ll find Q&As with South Asian leaders fighting for us in the halls of power, firsthand perspectives on policies that shape our lives, deep dives into the consequences of MAGA extremism, and inspiring stories of Immigrants Who Impact. Most importantly, you’ll find concrete ways to take action.

This isn’t just "Impact’s blog"—it’s your space, your platform, your voice. As such, the views expressed here are solely those of the writers and do not reflect the endorsements of Indian American Impact or its partners. This space belongs to all of us.

About Indian American Impact

Indian and South Asian Americans are a powerful and crucially important force for progressive change, but we're often overlooked. Impact is dedicated to building political power, mobilizing voters, and fostering leaders to create meaningful change.

Since 2016, we’ve invested over $20 million to engage South Asian and Asian American communities, helping to elect nearly 200 groundbreaking candidates to office—from local school boards to the halls of Congress. But our work goes far beyond elections. Across the country, we’re training future leaders, mobilizing voters, building coalitions, and pushing for policies that move all of us forward.

Across the country, South Asians are stepping into their power like never before. And we’re just getting started.If you’re ready to be part of this movement, you’re in the right place.
