The Sikh Coalition is a Sikh-American advocacy group that defends Sikh civil rights founded in 2001 with offices in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Fremont, California. The Sikh Coalition, was originally named the Coalition of Sikh Organizations of New York. Sikh-Americans were attacked as a "retribution attack" after 9/11, thus leading to the founding of the group, at a time when the American public "began to equate the turban and beard with the face of terror."
