📣 BIG NEWS! We’re excited to announce that will be a keynote speaker at the 2026 Summit on April 20 in Washington, D.C.!

In 2025, Congressman Subramanyam made history as the first Indian American, South Asian member of Congress elected in not only Virginia’s history, but on the entire East Coast. Now, he’s joining us in D.C. to headline our For Our Future: NextGen Power In Action session.

At a time when our belonging is being questioned, a new generation of South Asian leaders is stepping up to shape what comes next.

This plenary brings together two powerful forces:
🏛️ Governance: NextGen elected officials leading from county seats to state legislatures.
🗳️ Grassroots: Youth organizers mobilizing the next wave of voters and community builders

Together, they’ll dive into how we build power across generations, protect our communities, and ensure that trailblazers like Congressman Subramanyam aren’t the last and only—but the start of a movement.

ABOUT THE IMPACT SUMMIT:
The Impact Summit and Gala is the premier national gathering of Indian and South Asian American changemakers, including elected officials, organizers, advocates, artists, and community leaders, coming together to assert our belonging and act on it.

At a time when immigrants are under attack and belonging itself is being questioned, this year’s theme, We Belong, reflects both where our communities have been and what this moment requires of us.

South Asian Americans are at the forefront of building and shaping artificial intelligence, yet our communities will also bear its economic, social, and environmental consequences.

Congressman Khanna will discuss how the United States can lead in AI innovation while advancing smart guardrails that protect workers, address bias, manage climate and energy demands, strengthen national security, and ensure the benefits of this technology are widely shared.
