In the Election Stories project, SAADA asked the South Asian American community how their lives and feelings about America had changed since the 2016 election. We also asked what issues were motivating them to vote in the 2020 election, what they wanted to remember from the 2020 election cycle, and what they were most hopeful about for 2021 and beyond. We now invite you to go through the "Choose a question" dropdown bar below and read the responses we received.

In what ways, if any, have your feelings about America changed since the 2016 election?

I have lost faith in the American project as being self-correcting and capable of protecting and advancing humane laws. I now see that America is as vulnerable as India to corruption, authoritarianism, and the scapegoating of minorities.
