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.
📣 South Asians are the fastest-growing community in Texas — and you can be part of the movement.

South Asian American Voter Empowerment Texas Education Fund
“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. ”
We are South Asian American Voter Empowerment of Texas Education Fund (SAAVETX EF). Our organization is dedicated to lifting the voices of our diverse South Asian American community to the halls of governance. Our mission is to register to vote for all South Asians in Texas so that they may actively participate in our democracy.
Through community outreach and education, we seek to drive every voter to the poll for every election so that our collective voices are heard at the seats of power. We embrace the diversity of thought in our community and work to have our manifold ideologies represented at the polls. We do so by providing resources for voter registration and information about the voting process including topics such as absentee voting, voting deadlines, and poll locations.
Through these activities, we empower the South Asian community of Texas to enrich our state with our active participation in the democratic system.
