Since 2008, Sahaj Singh Khalsa, a Sikh American paramedic from New Mexico, has been discriminated against by his employer because of his religious identity, he has endured disparaging remarks and threats, and even physica assault. SALDEF urges community members to call upon the hospital to accept religious diversity.

“All I wanted was do my job helping people in my community get the urgent medical care they needed,” said Khalsa. “My Sikh religion did not prevent me from performing that job, but the prejudice of my supervisors did.”
