VOTE TO SHAPE OUR FUTURE

At SAAVETX Education Fund, we believe voting is one of the most powerful ways South Asians can strengthen our communities, shape our future, and make a lasting impact. For too long, our voices have been left out of the conversation — but together, we’re changing that.

We’re making voting a family affair — including our cousins, aunties, uncles, didis, chitis, nanis, and grandparents — because civic engagement starts at home.

OUR IMPACT

“Our goal at SAAVETX EF is to become a powerful voting block, impacting the political landscape of Texas. For too long we have been overlooked, without representation. We are here to unify the South Asian American voice. ”
— Chanda Parbhoo - Executive Director, SAAVETX EF

Why South Asians Matter in Texas

The South Asian community in Texas, though 4% of the population, is a vital force in shaping the state’s future. Their growing political influence can ensure that policies reflect community-specific needs like immigration, education, and healthcare. Economic contributions from South Asian businesses and professionals strengthen Texas’s economy and create jobs. Supporting and representing this community builds an inclusive Texas where all voices are valued and empowered.
