DC Collective for South Asians [DCCSA] is a volunteer, non-profit, non-sectarian network of individuals actively engaged in a broad range of social/political/economic/cultural issues concerning the South Asian region, and the South Asian community in the metro Washington DC area, and globally.

Specific activities combine direct action with public education and social events, and focus on issues such as ending xenophobia and discrimination targeted towards South Asians in the United States; promoting peace, communal harmony, economic and social justice in South Asia; and enhancing access to health, education, personal freedom and civil rights for South Asians around the world regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

In pursuing these goals, DCCSA activists work independently, or in collaboration with partners in the local and global communities.
