The collaborative symposium series hosted by the American Council of Minority Women (ACMW) and the MASALA Study Group has proven to be a highly successful public health initiative. By bringing cutting edge research regarding the disproportionate cardiovascular risks faced by South Asian Americans directly to the community, the series has empowered attendees with actionable knowledge about why heart disease often presents earlier in this population and how to better advocate for their own heart health.

The 3rd "Vote in Your Own Language" seminar stands as a milestone for ACMW’s commitment to inclusive democracy. By ensuring that language is a bridge rather than a barrier to the ballot box, ACMW and the CEC have laid a strong foundation for higher voter turnout and more equitable representation within our community.
The response from the community was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees expressed deep satisfaction with the clarity of the information provided and the respectful, inclusive manner in which the seminar was conducted. Many participants noted that for the first time, they felt truly equipped and encouraged to cast their ballots in the next election.
