Shadows and Silhouettes - Poras Chaudhary
Hey folks,
I’m part of a volunteer collective, organizing DC Desi Summer, a weekend-long leadership and empowerment program taking place July 13-15, 2012 in Washington DC.
DC Desi Summer provides a radical and inclusive space for youth of South Asian heritage to examine key social justice issues and take action. The goal of the forum is to engage participants in critical reflection, coalition building, and activism. We believe that a united, educated, and inspired collective of young activists is crucial to creating social change both locally and globally.
Workshops include:
- Working in Public Interest Sector
- Ending violence against women and girls
- Immigrant rights
- The Criminal Justice system in a Post-9/11 Era
- Race, Class and Gender Identity Issues
- Global Freedom Struggles and Local Connections
We are currently accepting applications for this summer’s program. The application can be found here. Feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions regarding the program or application.
Also, please feel free to pass along, forward, reblog etc!
In Solidarity,
Sarah

Kirpan Necklace by Eina Ahluwalia
Traditionally, a Kirpan is a small sword worn on the body as a religious symbol for the Sikhs - a warrior race that originated to protect oppressed communities from the Mughal rule in India.
We chose to use this symbol of protection as a neckpiece to portray our stand against domestic violence. A piece that must inspire every woman to love, respect & protect herself even if someone else doesn’t.
