Bay Area Solidarity Summer (BASS) is a 5-day stayover political action camp and fellowship for progressive 18-23 year olds of South Asian heritage (including the diaspora). Come build your politics and skills, and be inspired by peers and mentors. We only ask for a $50 fee for 5 days of workshops, meals, and housing, followed by a year-long series of trainings (100% fee waiver available, based on need).

Apply to BASS if you:
	•	are interested in creating a just, equitable, and sustainable world
	•	are thoughtful and curious about how to shift power and the status quo
	•	want to transform your politics and values into lifelong practice

BASS will help you:
	•	sharpen your analysis of race, class, gender, power, etc., and how they’re linked to injustice
	•	develop real-world strategies to plan campaigns for change
	•	find inspiration and amplify your impact through art, music, writing, and history
	•	cultivate relationships with activists and mentors to support and sustain your work

BASS was founded in 2011. The BASS alumni network is active in a wide range of justice issues, and call the program “inspiring,” “supportive,” and “life-changing,” and say it “continues to provide me motivation and support from my peers and organizers.”

The camp is a project of the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, an all-volunteer organization founded in 2000 working to educate, organize, and empower San Francisco Bay Area South Asian communities.
