The SFU Sikh Student's Association is committed to providing a medium for students to grow, interact, and experience Sikhi in a dynamic way.

This year is the 37th anniversary of the horrifying crimes that were committed against the Sikh community in India. Years later, inequality and injustice still remain persistent towards Sikhs. 1/3

On December 11, join us for an evening to learn the life of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Maharaj. Many of you are familiar with Bhai Pardeep Singh from @gurunanakacademy, and you know that their Katha is not to be missed! This lecture will be held at SFU Surrey in room 3290 at 6pm

[Neetu Garcha @NeetuGarcha]

One of several vigils being held across B.C. tonight is at the Vancouver Art Gallery to honour the lives of the former residential school students who can never tell their stories and to highlight the many steps still needed for reconciliation and restitution. More @GlobalBC 11pm

A fundraiser is almost halfway to its $300K goal for the late Taptejdeep Singh. It was created by his family to help his wife and their young children:

Decades later, voices are still being oppressed. We stand in solidarity with the Farmers of Punjab, the people of Palestine, Uyghur Muslims, and others all across the globe. 2/3

[SFU SSA @SFU_SSA]

Alongside the recognition of oppression against Sikhs, we want to acknowledge this ongoing pattern that is still prevalent across the globe. Please join us in a night of remembrance and solidarity. 3/3  #HumanRights #NeverForget84 #10DaysOfTerror #1984SikhGenocide

"I firmly believe Punjabis are owed a true account of what happened during [the 80's and 90's], free from political influence and bias."

We appreciate @SFUInstituteHum for considering the sentiments of the community and postponing the event. We still await a clear response from @ubcCISAR, and are hopeful that they will consult with our communities when choosing panellists for future events.

[Baaz @BaazNewsOrg]

BREAKING | @SFUInstituteHum has postponed its webinar with @HartoshSinghBal regarding the #FarmersProtest, which was to be held this Monday, after concerns were raised by @SFU_SSA over Bal's history of defending the Butcher of Punjab, KPS Gill.
