GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN - UNITED SIKHS OPENS DOORS OF SIKH CENTERS ACROSS THE NATION FOR ASSISTANCE25/1/2019 UNITED SIKHS – San Jose, California, Jan 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UNITED SIKHS has initiated a Temporary National Assistance Program (TNAP) to assist the federal employees impacted by the government shutdown. Today is the 34th day of the shutdown when more than 1,000,000 million federal employees, their families, our fellow countrymen and countrywomen are at the mercy of our elected leaders. Inter-connected industries and society are feeling the aftermath of government inactivity. Every American no matter their race, creed and gender have all been adversely impacted by the federal shutdown. We request elected officials to diligently move forward to end the shutdown as it has dealt a severe blow to not only the economy but the social fabric of the nation. Now is the time for action. As stated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.”
UNITED SIKHS partners - the Sikh Gurdwaras across the nation, restaurant owners, community centers and other interfaith groups will provide temporary assistance in the form of food items (perishable and non-perishable) and emergency supplies as available and needed. Case managers will be available for assistance and a review of cases on an individual basis. Our case managers can be contacted at our twitter handle @UNITEDSIKHS and by messaging us on our FACEBOOK page. Federal workers are showing up to work dutifully all the while aware they will not receive a paycheck. This is a heartbreaking situation which puts hundreds of thousands of families in peril and limbo. These consequences trickle down from consumerism to mental anguish to bearing a physical toll on one's being. We have started a National Assistance Program that will aid in easing some of the burdens that people are facing due to spillover effects onto our communities, our neighbors, our friends and our family.
