The Know Your Rights program creates an open forum encouraging all Sikh Americans to understand their rights. As a part of SALDEF’s ongoing efforts to empower the community and strengthen partnerships with government, we are pleased to announce a series of Know Your Rights (KYR) Forums for the Sikh American communities of Northern and Southern California in the month of December. December 4th: Guru Nanak Sikh Temple-Buena Park 12-1pm December 11th: Sikh Gurdwara Sahib-San Jose 11-12pm The following government agencies and representatives will provide community members with important information about employment discrimination, hate crimes, and government resources. Representatives from the U.S. Department of Justice, Local Law Enforcement Officials, Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Department of Education will be presenting to community members. Additionally, this will be an opportunity to network with government recruiters and discuss employment opportunities. Since 2002, SALDEF has organized numerous educational workshops for Sikh American communities in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
