| Summary: | On the heels of the highly publicized deaths of multiple Black youth in the U.S., the case of
Trayvon Martin is yet another tragedy. While we mourn his loss, his death should also be seen
as a call for justice for him, and more broadly a call for social justice. In this manuscript,
parallels between the Black and Sikh communities in the U.S. are highlighted. In particular, the
suspension of rights of and violence against Sikh men and boys in the U.S. and globally are
identified along with examples of social justice action taken by Sikh organizations and mental
health professionals in response to acts of oppression. This article represents a call to action for
all communities to engage in support of social justice across groups. |
