ASATA Power organizes across multiple strategies to build durable political power for impacted communities and advance systemic change.
Immigration Protections
We advocate for policies that protect undocumented immigrant communities, challenge detention and deportation systems, and expand access to services, safety, and legal protections.
Budget Justice & Care Economy
We push to reduce military and carceral spending and redirect public resources into education, healthcare, housing, childcare, elder care, and social services.
Progressive Electoral Engagement
We engage in values-driven electoral politics, including producing voter education materials, endorsing aligned candidates, and mobilizing our communities to vote and hold officials accountable to the people.
Coalition & Movement Building
We work with grassroots organizations locally and nationally to build collective power beyond any single campaign.
Since launching in 2024, ASATA Power has:
Produced and distributed Bay Area–focused progressive voter guides

Developed a first-of-its-kind issue brief on undocumented South Asians.
