The Know Your Rights program creates an open forum encouraging all Sikh Americans to understand their rights.
As a part of SALDEF”s ongoing effort to empower the community and strengthen partnerships with government, we are pleased to announce a Know Your Rights (KYR) Forum for the Sikh American community of Las Vegas and Clark County, NV in cooperation with the Gurdwara Baba Deep Singh on Sunday, March 20th from 2-4pm.
The following government agencies and representatives will provide community members with important information about employment discrimination, hate crimes, and government resources.
