Speakers included Basim Elkarra, (CAIR Sacramento Valley), Waseem Bawa (Chairman of SALAM Center), US Attorney McGregor Scott, Gabriela Herrera (from the Office of Congresswoman Doris Matsui), Willie Recht (Jewish Federation), Amar Shergill (American Sikh Public Affairs Association), Pastor Joy Johnson (Sacramento ACT), Rabbi Seth Castleman, Rev.
