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.

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.

Sikhs Contribution in Ongoing Farmers Protests

Heaps of Indian farmers protesting against the three farms regulation. In the middle of this, the protest is taking power from Sikh News calling on foreign governments to intervene in the judgment of farm law. The Sikh diaspora has begun to help Indian farmers collect donations, organize demonstrations and publish news updates. Overseas Sikhs, many of whom have family farms, have been interviewed in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia to show they are gaining attention outside the Indian embassy. Protesters and their families said that in nearly 50 different cities around 400 to 600 people protest in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. In Canada, which is the home to a politically powerful Sikh community, Indians have pledged to step up their support for protesting Indian farmers. We regularly take part in demonstrations and try to grab the attention of the authorities. They help strengthen our voice, and we are committed to supporting our farmers in India. Words of...
