Urges Congress to pass "Sikh American Anti-Discrimination Act of 2026."
This New Jersey concurrent resolution urges the U.S. Congress to pass the Sikh American Anti-Discrimination Act of 2026, which is currently pending at the federal level. The bill aims to address the disproportionate targeting of Sikhs by creating a specific task force within the Department of Justice to investigate and combat anti-Sikh hate and discrimination. By highlighting the community's distinct religious identity and recent FBI data on hate crimes, the resolution seeks to bring federal attention to this issue. The document also outlines administrative steps to send copies of the resolution to federal leaders and the Sikh Youth Alliance.
