Target: US Congress, Department of Justice, and the White House
Goal: We call on US lawmakers and the administration to uphold the democratic rights of Sikh Americans, ensure their safety, and condemn any foreign interference targeting peaceful activists.
The Khalistan referendum in Washington, DC, organized by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), has drawn thousands of Sikhs from across the United States, demonstrating the community's commitment to democratic participation and self-determination. Recent revelations have exposed attempts by foreign intelligence networks to intimidate and target Sikh activists in the US, Canada, and Australia. Such actions threaten not only the safety of Sikh Americans but also the fundamental democratic values of free speech and assembly.
We urge US officials to take concrete steps to protect Sikh activists, investigate any foreign interference, and reaffirm the right of all communities to advocate for their rights without fear of reprisal. The United States must stand firm in defending the civil liberties of all its residents and denounce any efforts to silence dissent through intimidation or violence.
