SAALT is enter­ing a peri­od of chrysalis just like in nature when an organ­ism under­goes deep change and trans­for­ma­tion. We are com­mit­ting the next 18 months to build­ing a foun­da­tion­al analy­sis of our South Asian­ness on the basis of caste. We will be tran­si­tion­ing to a four-per­son lead­er­ship mod­el of co-stew­ard­ship. In this year and a half, we will cease all exter­nal pro­gram­ming and focus on inter­nal polit­i­cal edu­ca­tion and devel­op val­ues aligned orga­ni­za­tion­al prac­tices and infra­struc­ture. This peri­od will feed our ulti­mate pur­pose: to build South Asian peo­ple pow­er that is unapolo­get­i­cal­ly anti-caste and uphold­ing of gen­der, eco­nom­ic, racial, dis­abil­i­ty, and envi­ron­men­tal jus­tice in orga­niz­ing, art, cul­ture, advo­ca­cy, and policy.
