Growing up, every Sikh learns that our Gurus stood for the rights of all, not just Sikhs.

We learn that Guru Hargobind Sahib refused freedom from imprisonment unless those held with him wrongfully were also freed. We learn that Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib sacrificed his own life for the religious freedom of others. We take pride in knowing that Guru Nanak Dev Ji stood against sexism and casteism for all.

So the question naturally arises: What are Sikhs doing today to lead and stand for the rights of all?

Check out this headline in yesterday’s news:

“On Thursday, a group of 38 civil rights organizations led by the Sikh Coalition called for an independent audit of the TSA to determine whether the agency engages in racial profiling”

Or this headline:

"New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has signed into a law a bill initiated by the Sikh Coalition to significantly enhance religious-based protections for employees working in the metropolis."

Or this:

“The Sikh Coalition… has created a virtual video wall where members of the Muslim, Sikh, South Asian and Arab American communities can share their memories of the attacks and the discrimination they experienced in [9/11's] wake.“

With your support, today the Sikh Coalition is humbly working to realize Guru Sahib’s vision of a just society. Your support enables us to protect not only our rights, but the rights of all as Guru Sahib requires.

Will you make a tax-deductible contribution today so that we can continue this work? Whatever amount you can afford $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or $1000 --- will go towards ground-breaking work not only for Sikhs, but humanity.

As always the Sikh Coalition urges Sikhs to practice their faith fearlessly and urges all people to stand up for their rights.
