The Sikh Coalition, in collaboration with local Sikh leaders Sikh leaders and the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Sikh Research Institute and UNITED SIKHS, urge Sikh-Americans across the nation to organize interfaith vigils within their respective communities for the evening of Wednesday August 8th. The purpose of this effort is to coordinate a nationwide remembrance for the victims and their families of the Oak Creek, Wisconsin Sikh Gurdwara massacre and for those still in recovery. Please reach out to the Sikh Coalition at contact@sikhcoalition.org to advise us about a vigil you and your community are organizing and we’ll share it online and through social media. For your reference we have talking points about Sikhism, post 9/11 incidents, and what people can do to help the victims and their families as resources on our website. Please be aware of media presence at the vigils and refer to these documents to support your efforts to engage with them.
