Interfaith Action would like to invite you to our first film and dinner dialogue! We will be showing the brief film "Article of Faith" and will be serving vegetarian food from Earthen Jar (with vegan and gluten-free options). We will follow the film and dinner with a dialogue. All students and community members are welcome at this event.
"Article of Faith is a short documentary portrait of Brooklyn-based Sonny Singh, an activist working against bullying in New York City with the Sikh Coalition. A devout Sikh, Sonny wears a turban and does not cut his hair. These practices, however, make Sikhs the regular targets of harassment and violence. Memories of being teased and having his turban pulled from his head both as a child and adult, fuel his work with young people. Organizing Sikh youth from across New York City, Sonny leads a successful a campaign to pass a Department of Education regulation to combat bias-based harassment in public schools. 10-minutes"
