UNITED SIKHS Strengthens Relationships with U.S. Congressional Representatives
New York, N.Y. | November 5, 2026
Gurpreet Singh, CEO of UNITED SIKHS, recently met with U.S. Congress Representatives Hakeem Jeffries and Tom Suozzi as part of the organization’s ongoing engagement with elected officials on issues affecting the Sikh community and the broader public.
Both leaders have been valued friends and supporters of UNITED SIKHS and the broader Sikh community. Their willingness to listen to the concerns, challenges, and aspirations of Sikh Americans reflects the importance of meaningful engagement between elected representatives and the communities they serve.
During these interactions, the importance of strengthening community partnerships, protecting religious freedom, promoting civil rights, addressing community concerns, and supporting humanitarian initiatives were emphasized.
UNITED SIKHS also supports the bipartisan Right to Worship Act, sponsored by Congressman Tom Suozzi, which seeks to protect the ability of individuals of all faiths to access and participate in religious services without intimidation or disruption.

UNITED SIKHS deeply appreciates the continued accessibility, friendship, and engagement of both congressional leaders, particularly their recognition of the Sikh community’s contributions to American society through selfless service (seva), compassion, equality, and community empowerment.
We extend our warm congratulations to Congressman Tom Suozzi on his reelection and wish Congressman Hakeem Jeffries continued success in his congressional leadership responsibilities.
As an international humanitarian, advocacy, and community service organization, UNITED SIKHS remains committed to working with elected officials across party lines to advance the interests of underserved communities, defend fundamental freedoms, and promote the universal values of dignity, justice, and equality.
We look forward to continuing these meaningful relationships and building a stronger, more inclusive society for all.
