Insurgency In Diaspora: Community Organizing in South Asian North America

Mohiba Ahmed, Aman Bardia, Divyani Motla, Arsalan Samdani speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by SALAM (South Asian Left Activist Movement)l Diasporic South Asians are often seen as a “model minority.” However, over the past years, a spurt of radical South Asian-led community and media activism has contested this trope. This session brings together various groups to discuss the role the diaspora can and are playing in local and internationalist mobilization. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
