South Asian Network

South Asian Network A community-based organization dedicated to advancing the health, empowerment, and solidarity of pers SAN’s work is organized across three programmatic units.

Recognizing the rapid growth of the South Asian American community in Southern California and the inability of other organizations to address its issues meaningfully, community activists founded SAN in 1990. Through 25 years of outreach, education, service provision, and advocacy, SAN has established trust and credibility within the South Asian American community. The organization has successfully

addressed the very issues that typically divide South Asian immigrants - religion, nationality, language, gender and sexual orientation - recasting them as necessary elements of a progressive South Asian American community and a multi-ethnic Southern California. The AWAZ Voices Against Violence unit is committed to the health, safety and empowerment of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The Community Health Action Initiative (CHAI) works to ensure access to quality health care services. The Civil Rights Unit focuses on advocacy on issues related to citizenship and civic engagement. Together with the community, the SAN board and staff have created multilingual, culturally appropriate approaches to community outreach and education, direct service and policy advocacy in the focus areas of public health, violence prevention and intervention, immigration and civic engagement. Over the past decade, several thousand South Asian Americans in Southern California have participated in one or more of SAN’s diverse activities. SAN receives in-kind support from a network of about 50+ volunteers across its programmatic units in the form of pro-bono attorneys, law clerks and MSW interns.

25 years on. Still needed. This year marks the 25th anniversary of International Overdose Awareness day (IOAD). The theme, 25 years on. Still needed.”, recognizes that while we have made progress in overdose prevention, overdose continues to affect families and communities around the world.

For South Asian communities, these conversations can be especially important. Stigmas around substance abuse can make it harder for people to talk openly, ask for help, or access treatment. May we continue making space for these conversations, remember those we’ve lost, support those in recovery, and stand together to break the stigma surrounding addiction.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, call 1-800-662-HELP (4357)

Today is Grief Awareness Day. 🤍

Grief doesn’t always look like crying. It can look like numbness, anger, guilt, exhaustion, disconnection, changes in appetite, or questioning what you believe. You might feel okay one day and overwhelmed the next.

And when you’re grieving across borders, cultures, or distance, it can feel even more complicated.

For many South Asian immigrants and diaspora communities, grief can be shaped by being far from loved ones, cultural expectations around mourning, family responsibilities, and separation from familiar support systems. You may find yourself carrying your own grief while also trying to stay strong for others.

If you’re navigating a grief and need extra support, please reach out to SAN 🪷
