A Call to All Concerned Sikh Youth

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS, LISTSERVES, PUT UP ON YOUR FRIENDSTER, MYSPACE, and FACEBOOK!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh

The problems we face in our community are many. However, there are times when one is forced to TAKE A STAND.

Two weeks ago, we sent out a challenge for the Sikh community in the Bay Area to TAKE A STAND against abuses against our women -- especially against Sex Selective Abortions.

We sent out copies of the ads that are being featured in Panjabi newspapers and all too often end up in our Gurdwaras and our homes.

Many have taken up the call and responded. We are now especially calling Sikh Youth (High Schoolers, College Students, Grad Students, Young Professionals, Health Professionals, and anyone that wants to make a difference) to TAKE A STAND and say 'enough is enough.' It is time for a mass movement and Saturday will be that beginning.

WHO: All Concerned Sikh Youth (This is not a women's issue, this is 'our' issue!) We seek women and men's help!

WHAT: To become involved in an effort to stop the publication/distribution of this information and begin educating our community -- ATTEND PRIMARY MEETING

WHEN: March 25th at 11:30am -- THIS SATURDAY

WHERE: San Jose State University - Pacifica Room in the Student Union (3rd Floor)

WHY: Because WE are the next generation of Sikhs and it is our duty to TAKE A STAND

PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY

Gur Fateh,
