Compassion Solidarity Resilience!
Canadian Sikhs have run the largest blood donation campaign for the last 28 years. It's time again for us to participate in a life-saving blood donation campaign while following all current health and safety guidelines.

The Fresno Police Department falsely smeared an elected official just a week before the election and, yes, it is it as bad as it sounds:
1. Fresno PD pulled over Naindeep Singh for a pretext registration check and then accused him of driving under the influence of drugs.
2. Naindeep passed a breathalyzer test and volunteered to give blood/urine samples.
3. PD took him to the hospital and got the tests done.
4. Naindeep also had another urine test at the same hospital and the reports are negative for drugs.
5. Fresno PD and City leadership immediately ran to media and got wall-to-wall coverage that Naindeep was arrested for DUI.
6. Fresno PD refuses to release their own test results, saying it will take weeks.
It is a violation of Naindeep's civil rights under the US and CA Constitution, particularly while votes are being cast, for Fresno PD to rush to publish the DUI investigation but not the test results that would exonerate him. City leadership could get those results in hours, just like Naindeep did.
There are two things happening here. First, Naindeep has been running a progressive campaign that holds police and city leadership accountable for their failed policy agenda. Second, there is a widely opposed multi-billion dollar real estate development at risk if Naindeep is elected.
The people of Fresno are rallying behind Naindeep and this will backfire against the City and Fresno PD. They have only made his voice louder and more powerful. Sikhs are in Chardi Kala and more motivated than ever to defeat corruption in Fresno.
Through his work at @JakaraMovement, 2022 #IrvineAwards recipient Naindeep Singh is creating transformational change by empowering Sikh youth to reimagine and improve their communities.
We're thrilled to support Naindeep Singh! irvineawards.org

Why did CSIS Remove this Foreign Interference Assessment?
CSIS recently described India as the “second most pervasive” foreign interference actor in Canada and specifically warned of:
• Indian officials, intelligence officers and proxies conducting interference
• Efforts to undermine the Canada-based Khalistan movement
• Surveillance of community groups
• Visa pressure and travel “blacklists”
• Threats to family members in India
• Disinformation and media influence campaigns
CSIS said one objective was to “exert control over ethnic, cultural or religious community groups.” For Sikh Canadians, this is directly about safety, freedom of expression and democratic participation.
The page has now been taken down.
Why was this information removed? Canadians deserve transparency.

A Sikh trucker was followed into a Wyoming rest stop bathroom & stabbed 17 times in an unprovoked attack.
Days earlier, DHS posted "Get off our roads, you don't know how to drive Mr. Singh." It deleted the post, then told NPR any link to the attack is "RECKLESS and FALSE."
There has been a sharp rise in Anti-Sikh hate across the diaspora as racism and disinfo are amplified by both white nationalist and Hindu Nationalist ecosystems.

WE ARE NOT LETTING THIS END WITH A DELETED POST.
UNITED SIKHS has formally filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for a civil rights review and corrective action following the DHS “Mr. Singh” graphic.
Removing the post does not erase the harm or the questions it raised.
Our complaint calls for accountability, an acknowledgment of the impact on Sikh Americans and other communities, and safeguards to help prevent similar incidents from happening again.

As the 25th anniversary of the tragic 9/11 attacks land tomorrow, Sikh groups across the USA will also mark 25-years since a Sikh man became the first victim of domestic hate-crimes carried out as acts of reprisal. Balbir Singh was murdered in Arizona on 15th September, 2001.

Through WSO’s SSA Grant, Sikh Student Associations have brought their ideas to life — from cultural and educational events to workshops, community-building initiatives, and opportunities for students to connect.
Our first year of the SSA Grant was a huge success, and we were proud to support SSAs in creating meaningful experiences and strengthening Sikh student communities on campuses.
These photos offer a glimpse into the incredible work made possible through the grant. We’re proud to support the next generation of Sikh leaders and support SSAs in building spaces where students can connect and grow together.
Applications for the next round of SSA Grants are now open. Apply today: worldsikh.org/ssa_grant

A phone line where anyone can call and accuse a driver of committing “CDL fraud” and/or being an “illegal immigrant” with no evidence is flagrant profiling. Ask your elected officials in Congress to speak out against DHS --> thesikh.co/profiling
