Sikh Civil Rights Organization

 The Sikh unification is to be considered as a community-based organization that works for the trust of civil and human rights for all people. Especially, we do our job for a world where Sikhs may easily practice and indulge in their trust while fostering strong relations with their area’s people wherever they'll be.

Programs and results

What we aim to unravel

Given the present climate of hate, Sikh Americans still remain more susceptible to hate attacks and bias-based discrimination. The continued politicization and codification of xenophobia by the present administration and other elected officials has further emboldened bigots to attack against minority communities. On the average our legal team skilled 200+ legal intakes a year including nearly a dozen hate crimes or potential hate-related incidents.

Numerous of the cases are related to hate crimes, school intimidation, pay discrimination/accommodation, TSA complaints, racism and accommodations for the articles of religion in schools and public life.

Our programs

What are the organization's present systems, how do they know their success and who do the programs serve?

Advocacy

The Sikh unification’s support system inspires civic contribution and pushes government to be deferential of Sikh concerns. We take the community’s voice to the government through letter-writing campaigns, congressional outreach, civil rights reports and meetings with government agencies and media outreach.

Community Organizing

The Sikh Union’s community outreach program works with communities to market Sikh communities through strengthening access to local, state and national resources and promoting area people engagement.

Education

The education system pursues to create an environment through education wherever Sikhs may freely practice their faith and where people appreciate the presence of Sikhs within the community. We proactively combat prejudice and discrimination by spreading consciousness about Sikhs.

Legal
The Sikh union’s legal program defends and safeguards religious freedom. We offer essential legal services to victims of hate crimes, employment discrimination, public accommodations discrimination, profiling and other sorts of discriminations.

The Sikh union’s work is administered at the local, state, and federal levels. We use our legal, policy and community development programs, which are supported by our media and communications department.

The legal system mainly files matters that address prejudice and discrimination. These areas contain school intimidation, hate crimes, and high-yield cases of office judgement. The policy system works to ensure laws and administrative rules symbolise fundamental human rights and is then scaled to satisfy the requirements of the Sikh community at the local, state and federal levels. Our community development program works to foster civil engagement so as to market area people empowerment. All of this work continues with the broader goal of teaching Americans about the Sikh faith, community and traditions to combat bigotry and discrimination.

The Sikh union also enjoys strong collaborative relationships with numerous organizations with reference to local, state, and federal civil rights concerns. We partner with pro-bono guidance on legal cases and still reinforce oecumenical partnerships and collaborations with like-minded advocacy organizations. The Sikh union is usually the primary and only line of defence for Sikh civil rights.

  Sikhism in Canada Being the world’s fourth-largest religion preached and followed, Sikhism has continued attaining the growth of devotees in a large number of countries. Religion has its roots in an Indian state Punjab, which has most of the concentration of the Sikh population in the world, aside from all Indian states and the rest of the world. The community has proved its indulgence at every phase and has created a history of its own, especially when it is concerning dignity.  Talking about the community’s relationship with the world, one can find Sikhs in almost every part of the world, however, for the most part, or we can say the second largest portion can be found in Canada after India. Yes, Canada has round about 500,000 Sikhs at present with most of its population strength in British Colombia followed by Ontario and Alberta. Besides this, Sikhs are found in almost all parts of the country. In India, mainly in Punjab, families expect their children to acquire education a

  Each and every person of the Sikh community are observed as equal. All individuals,  no matter  their gender, race, disability, class or wealth, are treated with respect and dignity. Sikhs’ trust  within the  coherence of humanity is emphasised through their actions within the gurdwara  and therefore the  local people . The woman is born from woman;  there's  none without her.  Nanak , Var Asa, pg. 473 . The unity of humanity is imitated within the gurdwara  and so the  Sikh community in various ways: ·         There  is not any  distinction between men  and ladies  within the gurdwara or the community. ·         Men  and ladies  can  participate  altogether  aspects of worship. ·         All men  and ladies  can lead worship by reading the Guru  Adi Granth  and playing music. ·         All people are equivalent within the sangat. ·         Anyone who wishes to  are often  initiated into the Sikh faith and become  a part of  the Khalsa.

  Sikh News India    India has strong roots for every religion, and we respect everyone's feelings about their faith. We welcome everyone as they are, and we didn't get partial with them just because of the community they are belonging. Being secular is the beauty of our country India. But as we all know, we all are fighting for our rights, and if someone took wrong actions or wrong decisions for us, then we stand for it and raise voices for it. You all are aware of the latest Sikh News India , which is the farmer's protest for their livelihood on which the government took some wrong decisions that are not accepted by farmers. To show their anger, they are doing so many things like showing rallies on roads, making pamphlets of "No farmer, no food, "Support Farmers, "etc., and civilians also come forward to support farmers in their protest.
