As you know, #Vaisakhi is one of the most historically significant days of the year for Sikhs and it’s coming up in April. Wouldn’t it be great if we could help educate our wider communities about Sikhs as well this April? sikhcoalition.org/blog/2019/…
Sikh awareness is easy this April!

Sikhs are protesting the routine denial of asylum claims for Sikhs and the abusive treatment by ICE. Today, we joined @SAALTweets + other orgs to send a letter to DHS and federal oversight authorities expressing concern about their inhumane and discriminatory treatment.

On January 27, 1945 the last remaining detainees at Auschwitz were liberated. Since 2005, today is observed as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Now more than ever, we must NEVER FORGET and condemn displays or acts of hate against Jews or anyone #HolocaustRemembranceDay
