How Sikhs Can Help Change Law in California

This election year is a reminder that Sikh Americans need to participate more actively in civic and political life.  In order for the government and the media to pay attention to issues affecting our community, we need to have a seat at the table where decisions are being made and ensure that our voice is included in any policy changes.

The following are two ways that individuals can take action to change law that would impact the lives of Sikh Americans in California.  These actions are for individuals living in California, but similar actions can and will take place in other states at various times.  California is the 8th largest economy in the world, so if these changes become law – then these actions are even more meaningful for the Sikh community.  It will go down in history that Sikh Americans helped create change for not just our own community but other marginalized communities too.

The following two bills have already successfully passed through both the California Assembly and Senate.  Much of the hard work has been accomplished thanks to advocates within the Sikh community, sangat members across the state and Sikh organizations such as The Sikh Coalition.  The final step in this process is for Governor Brown to sign these bills into law.  You can help by taking one small step for each bill – by simply contacting the Governor’s office.  While Governor Brown has until September 30th to sign these bills into law, he can decide on the bills any day.  We encourage you to take action today!  Please leave a comment in the section below letting us know if you have taken action.

If this bill moves forward and becomes law, it will sharply reduce job discrimination against Sikhs and other religious minorities and guarantee equal employment opportunity to all workers in California.

SB1540 – Revised Curriculum Framework: History-Social Science: SIGN THE PETITION

This bill would authorize the State Board of Education to complete the revision process of the History-Social Science Framework for California schools. When completed, this framework will ensure that California students learn about Sikhism and Sikh contributions, thereby increasing appreciation for diversity and reducing ignorance of the sort that leads to bullying and bias.
