June 9, 2021 (Sacramento, CA) -- The Sikh Coalition, in partnership with the Jakara Movement, would like to invite you to a virtual webinar discussion,
Ethnic Studies and the California Sikh Community, on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at 7:00 PM PST.
In March of this year, the California Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC) was updated to include
multiple opportunities to teach about Sikh stories in the state’s public schools. If you are a current or upcoming high school student, or the parent of one, we encourage you to attend this June 30 webinar to learn how ethnic studies curricula and other initiatives can be used to ensure teaching about the Sikh community happens in your classroom.

For more than 125 years, Sikhs have made vital contributions to the life, culture, and economy of the state of California. Recognizing these contributions through ethnic studies and teaching about them accurately in California’s public schools is critical for creating safer and inclusive classrooms for all children. We hope that you will
join us on June 30 to learn more about the importance of including Sikh stories in ethnic studies and how you can
#TakeAction to bring them to your classroom in the upcoming school year.

As always, the Sikh Coalition urges you to practice your faith fearlessly.
