Be the Change is a national day of service, coordinated by South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT), that is held on campuses and in cities across the country. The event answers Mahatma Gandhi’s inspirational challenge to “be the change you wish to see in the world,” and provides opportunities for South Asians and allies to give back to their communities.
