Immigrant communities in Georgia, including AANHPI and all immigrant populations
From advancingjustice-atlanta.org/policy-advocacy ↗About this program
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.
Our 2026 Policy Agenda outlines critical issues affecting the immigrant community, including immigrant rights and inclusion, voting rights, civil rights, and equitable access. It highlights our dedication to advancing immigrant rights and promoting racial and ethnic equity across Georgia.
Stay informed and engaged with the latest policy developments, legislative actions, and issues that impact the civil, social, and economic rights of our communities in Georgia.
Our policy advocacy work is done in partnership with and in support of other immigrant-serving organizations. We aim to thoughtfully engage impacted community members in the policy process.
