The Indian American Advocacy Council (IAAC) has launched IAACouncil.com, a new online platform designed to help Indian Americans access legal, civic and community resources.

The platform brings together tools for reporting incidents, understanding legal rights, tracking legislation, contacting elected representatives and accessing trusted professionals. IAAC said the initiative is intended to serve as a centralized resource for advocacy, civic engagement and community support.

The launch builds on the organization's recent advocacy efforts, including anti-hate reporting initiatives and "Know Your Rights" resources developed in response to concerns over discrimination, immigration issues and workplace rights.



Announcing the launch on X, IAAC founder Sidharth described the platform as "more than a website." "It is a powerful civic platform built to help our community understand its rights, document incidents, reach elected representatives, find trusted support and organize," he wrote.

Calling the launch "a foundation, not a finish line," Sidharth said IAAC will continue to expand the platform with new tools shaped by community feedback.

According to IAAC, the website includes a Trusted Professionals directory connecting users with community-vetted attorneys, CPAs, realtors and therapists; a Legislative Tracker for monitoring congressional bills and contacting lawmakers; a Regulation Watch section tracking proposed federal policies; a Find My Reps tool that identifies elected representatives based on a user's address; and a Community Hub featuring news, state chapters, events and volunteer opportunities.

In a separate post announcing the launch, IAAC called the website "a new chapter" for the organization.

"Where do I report this? What are my rights? Who represents me? Who can help? The answer now starts in one place," the organization said. "Built to inform. Built to protect. Built for action."

IAAC said the platform will continue to evolve with additional features based on community feedback and invited community members seeking support or wishing to get involved to contact help@iaacouncil.com.
