SALDEF Mobilizes Over 100,000 Sikh American Voters at Midterm Election

With the help of SALDEF volunteers, staff, and generous supporters like you, SALDEF continues to build the electoral power of Sikh Americans across the country through concerted civic engagement efforts. 

We witnessed the power of youth in mobilizing their communities. Equipped and trained by SALDEF staff members, over 50 SikhVOTE volunteers worked tirelessly to preserve our democracy. By focusing on linguistically and culturally competent voter registration, education, and mobilization efforts, SALDEF mobilized over 100,000 Sikh voters across America. 

From Maryland to California, Sikh youth across America hosted tabling sessions at their local gurdwaras and called voters in both English and Punjabi. Collectively, they emphasized the importance of voting and making our voices heard at the ballot box. We are so grateful for all of their seva, time and energy. 

Thank you again for the critical role you’ve played in this election. For us, and for voters everywhere, YOU are the Heroes of Democracy! Keep up your great work, we need you now more than ever.  Help guarantee the promise of democracy for the next generation, click here to support SALDEF.
