San Jose, CA, October 1, 2012: Building Brides has been conceived as a community response
to the persistence of violence in our society and against members of our ethnic communities,
the most recent instance being that of the killings at the Sikh gurdwara in Wisconsin. The
primary objective of this panel discussion is to create, promote and render a thought-provoking
civil discourse among members of our communities.The panel will be moderated by Dr. Ajit Singh, Consulting Professor, School of Medicine at
Stanford and a Partner at Artiman Ventures. The panelists include Ash Kalra, San Jose City
Councilmember, District 2; Dennis Akizuki, Breaking News Editor, San Jose Mercury News;
Harmeet Kaur Dhillon, Chairwoman, San Francisco Republican Party; Raj Jayadev, Executive
Director, Silicon Valley De-Bug; and Simran Kaur, Advocacy Manager, Sikh Coalition. Building Bridges is an attempt to extend the scope of our role as a community magazine; to
ask, demand, question, analyze and bridge the differences inherent in our society and between
our communities; and to play a proactive role in determining causes and solutions for the
misperceptions that encumber our ethnic identity. It is our collective enterprise and initiative
that will bring us closer to identifying and resolving the underlying issues attending racial
violence. This is just a starting point for the work that is ahead of all of us. The event is free and seating is limited. Snacks will be served.
