Jenifer Rajkumar and Eric Adams Bring Sikh Community Together in Wake of Anti-Sikh Hate Crimes

Written By Jenifer Rajkumar for New York

"Rajkumar organized the press conference after two recent hate crimes against the Sikh-American community in October.

She said hate crimes against Sikhs increased by 140 percent in 2021 alone.

With a packed room of Sikh leaders, Rajkumar and Adams charted a path forward with the Sikh community.

They announced their plan for a citywide campaign to educate the public on the generosity, inclusivity and bravery of the Sikh people, including how Sikhs are tasked to be the protectors of the vulnerable."
