The South Asian Progressive Action Coalition is going to be hosting a conference this weekend touching everything from reproductive rights to civil liberties to voter education. The group formed in 2000 to voice activist concerns that combine politics with art for South Asian and Muslim immigrant youth. They kick things off tonight with a show at the Hot House. Spoken word, comedians, and other performances will be interspersed with short political messages geared to this community. Saturday is when the organizing sessions take place. Admission is free, but space is limited.
