Together, we can do great things. Together, we just did.

Chase Bank offered $25,000 in their Community Giving competition on Facebook.  During the month of November and December, when many of us were suppose to be busy at work or studying for finals, the community rallied together to find time to vote for the Jakara Movement.

With over 500,000 amazing nonprofits competing, it was with Guru’s Nadir (Grace) shining through the udham (efforts) of the community that we achieved Fateh (victory).  The Jakara Movement is well aware that this in not an organizational victory; it is the community’s victory and all earning will be in the benefit of the Qaum.

A special thanks to everyone that voted, to the entire Sikh Slate, to the entire community for supporting, to all the radio stations that made announcements, to all the FB groups that sent messages to their people, to Humble and Icky for the videos, and finally to all the unsung and nameless sevadaars that pushed their friends/family/(and even some randoms) to get out the vote.

Together, we really are the movement.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ke FATEH (victory)
