The Sikh Foundation International stands with you.
This month, America celebrates Juneteenth, a commemoration of the moment the last enslaved black people in the United States learned of their freedom on June 19, 1865.
It is on this day that the Sikh Foundation International wants to express its outrage and sadness for those who have been hurt by the legacy of police brutality and systemic racism which exists in our country. We are mortified by the brutal killing of Mr. George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police officers. His tragic death, and other recent inexcusable killings of other innocent African Americans like Rayshard Brooks, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Sean Reed, and Yassin Mohamed highlight the extensive racial profiling by law enforcement and the criminal justice system resulting from decades of brutality against African Americans rampant in our country, our communities, and even within ourselves.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught us to speak out and stand up for the rights of ALL to be respected. Guru Nanak denounced the caste system and preached against discrimination and prejudices due to race, caste, status, and on and on. He taught us that the presence of the divine is within each human being. Therefore, we, The Sikh Foundation International, ask you to join us in the fight against systemic racism.
We pledge our continued commitment to fight for social justice for all, irrespective of color, race, gender, national origin, or sexual identity. The Sikh Foundation International will explore meaningful ways to work with African American artists, authors, museums, & students. We stand true to the egalitarian ideals established by our Gurus, in solidarity with people of all color, and hope to inspire others by growing stronger in Chardi Kala.
