<     Shameful     >
Friend, what happened in Charlottesville is shameful and reprehensible. 
 Driven by the same beliefs as the terrorist who struck the Sikh community in Oak Creek, WI just over five years ago, these white supremacists, KKK members and Neo-Nazis are once again trying to divide America through hate and bigotry. 
We must make it clear that their incendiary ideologies have no place in American discourse. This situation serves as a painful reminder that there is still a lot of work to be done in bringing Americans of all faiths, colors and communities together. 
While our campaign was never designed to change the minds of extremists, it is our duty to counter their oppression with hope and unity. Sikhs have stood for justice and equality for all for hundreds of years, and we cannot allow these hate groups to take those values from us.
Can we count on you to stand strong in the face of hate and intolerance, by signing our petition?
We know we’ve created positive awareness over the years. We know more Americans are coming together because of our efforts. But this latest hateful outburst from the opponents of our values shows us that we are far from done. 
We have a new ad airing on Fox News that has the potential to reach millions with a positive message that will help bring Americans together in a time we need it most. This is an opportunity to reach a large swath of Americans across the country who are tuned in and disgusted by these acts, but remain unaware of and somewhat suspicious of people who look different than they do.
We are Sikhs is just getting started in educating all Americans and sharing our values – and we have no intentions of stopping now. With your help, we will stand strong against violence, intolerance, and hate.
Today, I’m humbly asking for your help to support this important mission by publicly adding your name to our petition.
We have an obligation to make this world a better place and educating our neighbors is the first step in accomplishing that. I hope you will stand by our efforts and sign your name today. 

Chardi Kala!
