The Sikh Coalition

For over 20 years, the Sikh Coalition has defended Sikh civil liberties in the courtroom, classroom, community and halls of Congress. Whether it’s working to secure safer schools, prevent hate and discrimination, create equal employment opportunities, or empower local Sikh communities, the Sikh Coalition’s goal is working towards a world where Sikhs, and other religious minorities in America, may freely practice their faith without bias and discrimination. We pursue our mission by: - Providing direct legal services to persons whose civil or human rights are violated - Advocating for law and policies that are respectful of fundamental rights - Promoting appreciation for diversity through education - Fostering civic engagement in order to promote local community empowerment The Sikh Coalition is a national community-based organization with offices and staff in New York City, California (Bay Area and Los Angeles), Washington D.C. and Chicago with over one hundred volunteer community advocates working to protect Sikh civil rights across the United States. The Sikh Coalition is a nonprofit and nonpartisan. Our funding comes from grants from private foundations and individual donors. We receive no funding from any government agencies or institutions.
