is a Sikh-led coalition working in solidarity with other marginalized communities to dismantle systems of oppression and build a world rooted in justice, collective care, and liberation.

Grounded in the Sikh values of service and equity, we believe in the power of collective action, fostering inclusive spaces where everyone has access to the resources they need and the opportunity to lead.
