Twenty-one years ago Balbir Singh Sodhi was shot and killed outside of his Mesa, Arizona, gas station. He was the first murder victim due to post-9/11 backlash. Since his tragic death, his brother Mr. Rana Sodhi has been devoted to mobilizing the Sikh American community to create awareness about the Sikh faith, as well as serving as a spokesperson against hate and violence. Today we are honored to join the #UnitedWeStand Summit and stand with Rana Sodhi along with all Americans against hate-fueled violence. SALDEF will continue engaging the Biden Administration over the coming months to ensure that America is safe for all, regardless of religion or race.
