About S.A.N.
A community that shows up
Sikh Action Network creates Sikh political power with the latest technology and infrastructure support — so the decisions made in Sacramento and Washington reflect our community.
Why we exist
California is home to one of the largest Sikh communities outside of Punjab. We farm the Central Valley, drive the trucks that move the economy, run small businesses and serve as doctors, engineers and public servants.
Yet our voices are too often missing when policy is made. S.A.N. closes that gap by registering and mobilizing voters, educating elected officials and holding them accountable.
Our structure
A 501(c)(4) social welfare organization
- ✦ Able to engage directly in advocacy and lobbying on issues that matter to Sikhs.
- ✦ Accepts financial contributions while maintaining donor privacy.
- ✦ Lean and efficient — resources go to organizing, not overhead.
- ✦ Not a charitable organization: contributions are not tax-deductible.
Rooted in Sikh values
