Les Sikhs ont souvent été victimes de discrimination et de stéréotypes, surtout après le 11 septembre, lorsque beaucoup ont été injustement pris pour cible. L’éducation est essentielle pour combattre l’ignorance. #SikhHeritageMonth

An ally is someone who stands with others against hate and injustice. Whether it’s speaking up against racism, supporting a friend, or learning about different cultures, every action counts. How can you show solidarity today? #SikhHeritageMonth

Un allié est une personne qui soutient les autres contre la haine et l’injustice. Que ce soit en dénonçant le racisme, en soutenant un ami, ou en apprenant sur différentes cultures, chaque action compte. Comment peux-tu montrer ta solidarité aujourd’hui?

Building Bridges, Not Barriers Sikh values teach us to embrace diversity and build relationships across communities. Instead of focusing on differences, let’s focus on what unites us. How can you bring people together in your school? #SikhHeritageMonth

Les valeurs sikhes nous enseignent à embrasser la diversité et à créer des liens entre les communautés. Au lieu de nous concentrer sur ce qui nous sépare, concentrons-nous sur ce qui nous unit. Comment peux-tu rassembler les gens dans ton école? #SikhHeritageMonth
