The South Asian Lesbian & Gay Association of New York City (SALGA) serves to promote awareness, tolerance, acceptance, empowerment and safe spaces for sexual minorities and people of all gender identities, who trace their heritage to South Asia or who identify as South Asian.
Our mission is to enable community members to establish cultural visibility and take a stand against oppression and discrimination in all its forms. We pledge to encourage leadership development, provide multi-generational support, work towards immigration advocacy, address health issues such as HIV / AIDS, and foster political involvement in the interest of creating a more tolerant society.

The Dyke March was started in 1993 by the Lesbian Avengers in Washington, D.C. Dyke Marches now take place all over the world. The Dyke March is a protest march not a parade. We march in solidarity with all lesbians: those who are out and those who cannot be out, those who are loud and those who have been silenced. We will march until every lesbian in every corner of the world can raise her head high and be proud.
