The Sikh Coalition's Advocacy Program promotes grassroots civic participation in the sikh community and encourages policymakers at all levels of government to respect civil and human rights. We advocate for Sikh community interests through direct meetings with government officials, letter-writing campaigns, media engagement, congressional outreach, and publication of civil rights reports. Bullying Bias & Discrimination The Sikh Coalition believes that all people deserve equal opportunities to achieve social and economic success. Unfortunately, Sikh Americans remain vulnerable to bias and discrimination. Profiling The Sikh Coalition believes that no person should be the target of discriminatory treatment by law enforcement officials. Unfortunately, Sikh Americans continue to experience racial and religious profiling, especially at American airports, because of their appearance. |
