Helping Today. Helping Tomorrow
Ambedkar Association of North America (AANA) was formed in the year 2008 with the aim to uplift the lives of people who belong to the underprivileged castes in India. It is a registered non-profit, charitable, and cultural organization that follows Dr. Ambedkar’s message to Educate, Agitate, and Organize. Our members primarily come from the Bahujan community in India and are committed to a vision of a world free from caste apartheid, religious intolerance, and injustice. We work with all Ambedkarite Americans to achieve dignity and justice through organizing, policy innovation, transformative education, and cultural programming.
