Desis Organise Bristol is a young grassroots community-initiative of like-minded Desi individuals. They share individual stories, while educating and exploring collective histories over shared food, laughs and a lot of chai. By promoting unity within the South Asian community, they are able to further solidarity, allyship and support to anti-racist movements across Bristol.
