America's Promise was formed to help make history.
America’s Promise is the first national political organization to elect qualified Sikh Americans up and down the ballot across the country and push for pro-Sikh policy in government.
By institutionalizing our political power, we will secure a seat at the table.
With Sikhs running for office across the country and our lack of representation, now is the time for our community to go all in. This also means supporting existing elected officials and aspiring candidates who understand, recognize, and advance Sikh issues.
Help elect Sikh Americans and candidates who support Sikh issues and embody values of freedom, justice, and equality for all.
Three Overarching Goals:
Elect Sikh American candidates at all levels of government.
- From local to federal office, we plan on supporting Sikh Americans in building political power in their communities and in Washington D.C.
Professionalize political infrastructure and capacity for Sikh American candidates and staffers.
- Build a community war chest for Sikh Americans running for local and higher office
- Conduct political candidate and staffer trainings
- Recruit Sikh Americans to run for office across the nation
Support candidates from all backgrounds that support Sikh American policy.
- Our endorsement criteria focus on Sikh American policy, regardless of political affiliation. Issues include but are not limited to: Civil rights, human rights of Sikhs, Sikhism as an unbiased item in school curriculums, getting Sikh issues on local and national political platforms, combating misinformation on Sikhs
