Different Ways To TAKE ACTION NOW Against The Police Brutality Faced By A Sikh Family In Texas

Last week on TLH we addressed the police brutality faced by the Tagore family in Texas.

260xstory-218x300.jpgYou will find here a consolidated list of how to TAKE ACTION NOW on this injustice.  Different organizing tools are available for the Sikh community to act, we just need to use them. Taking action in at least one way is better than none!

Please remember, we have to empower ourselves as individuals and a community to take action and not just rely on a few community lawyers or media-based activists.  Our actions as a whole are much stronger than a few!

Sign A Sikh Coalition Petition here: Harris County Sheriff-Elect Adrian Garcia is visiting the Sikh Center of Houston on Sunday, December 14, 2008. He will be the new Sheriff for Harris County next year. This petition will be directly handed over to him, so please help us gain as many signatures as possible.

Submit A Question here: Harris County Sheriff-Elect Adrian Garcia is visiting the Sikh Center of Houston on Sunday, December 14, 2008. During his visit the Tagore family and sangat members will be able to ask him questions on the actions he will take in response to the treatment of the Tagore family by police officers.   Submit a question for the Tagore family to ask Sheriff-Elect Garcia directly when he visits the Gurdwara.

Call numbers available here, here, and here (numbers are also in the comments section): A few pointers when calling are-

  • Be Polite and Respectful
  • Express your concern about police brutality and specifically the needless handcuffing of Kawaljeet Kaur Tagore and her family members, including her 60 year old mother
  • Express your concern about the needless use of foul curse words against the family by officers
  • Express your concern about the lack of knowledge by officers on Sikhs and Sikh practices

Please tell your family and friends about these different ways to act NOW … at the end of the day your voice is stronger in spreading the word than a TLH post, any blog, or an organizational e-mail! :)

    Look, polite and courteous in the face of evil (cop brutality/perjury) is going to embolden these scum of the earth to do it harder and deeper.
