PASC America has been spreading the thoughts of two of the greatest leaders from modern India - Thanthai Periyar and Babasaheb Ambedkar in the hopes that their principles bring rational and social thoughts among the younger generation. While it is aimed at reaching people around the world, its primary goal is to mark its presence in America.

In addition to these calls, PASC also conducts physical meetings across the US and Canada to celebrate the birthdays of eminent leaders by conducting various events, competitions and seminars. These meetings also are a platform to recognize various social activists from India and around the world and includes an award function acknowledging their many efforts.
PASC also has a monthly book discussion forum and books involving varied topics are explored and analyzed. All are welcome to take part in these reviews. A bilingual (Tamil and English) online magazine named “The Common SENSE” was started in January 2018 and currently reaches over 25,000 people every month.
