When 6 Sikhs were killed in Oak Creek, this organization was ready to answer the community’s call for action.
Today we call on YOU to answer our call for support.
The time has come. Today we are launching our end of year fundraising drive. We need YOU to help us power up our Sikh rights engine.
Our goal is to raise $750,000 before the end of 2012. If you believe having a no-nonsense Sikh rights institution is important and necessary, please support our end of year campaign today:
