Policy Advocacy
We shape public policy that impacts AANHPI and all immigrant populations in Georgia, working alongside community partners to push back against harmful legislation and fight for a more inclusive Georgia. We believe that basic rights and access to education, health care and mobility should be available to all Georgians across race, ethnicity, language preference, and immigration status.
