In the decade since Oak Creek Temple Shooting, the local sangat has continued to commemorate this devastating loss while also modeling the resilience inherent in the Sikh faith. On the weekend of August 5, 2022, Sikh Americans and allies from across the country came together in Oak Creek to recognize this milestone. The events of the Oak Creek 10th Anniversary Remembrance were titled “Heal, Unite, Act!”

“Repairing the World” has been selected as one of the films being shown at the SF Jewish Film Festival on July 31. The film’s producer, Patrice O’Neill, and NIOT member Jeff Greendorfer, joined KGO 810 San Francisco's John Rothmann on July 27 to talk about the film and what communities can learn from the response to hate in Pittsburgh. 

We are honored to announce that NIOT's new film, Repairing the World, is among the 14 films screening in person at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival!

Garnell Whitfield Jr., the son of the oldest Buffalo shooting victim, attended a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on domestic terrorism today and made a compelling speech about his mother, white supremacy and the urgent need for action.

 To families and friends who have lost someone to hate, please know, we will stand with you. The way we stand is with our actions. We have to bolster our communities and build connections and communication as hate escalates.
