Washington : Over 100 representatives from gurdwaras across the US have pledged support for the National Sikh Campaign's (NSC) plan to engage top US political operatives and media firms for presenting the community positively.
Meeting here over the weekend for a grassroots meeting called by the newly formed NSC, the gurdwara representatives set a target of raising $5 million to shape the Sikh image in America, according to a press release.
During the strategy session, Geoff Garin of Hart Research, who served as Hillary Clinton's former top political strategist, and Isaac Baker of the AKPD Message and Media, President Barack Obama's media firm, outlined a roadmap of how Sikhs can change perception in the US and how crucial the campaign will be to the future of Sikhs.
