Comcast was one of the first supporters of the SikhLEAD programs and has been an invaluable partner to SALDEF over the past few years. Whether assisting with youth
programs or providing opportunities for on-air segments to raise awareness about Sikh Americans, Comcast is helping the Sikh American community continue to make progress.
CNN was the first national network to provide full and comprehensive coverage in the immediate aftermath of the Oak Creek massacre, as well as provide consistent coverage through
out the week as details surrounding the shooting emerged. Anchors including Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Erin Burnett and Don Lemon provided an accurate depiction of the Sikh American community and have greatly contributed to providing a better understanding and awareness of Sikh Americans and the Sikh faith.
Join us in recognizing Comcast and CNN and others who have supporting the Sikh American community.
