This summer, New American Pathways and members of the Coalition of Refugee Service Agencies met with Congressman Hank Johnson and Senator Jon Ossoff’s office to bring the experiences of Georgia’s immigrant and refugee communities directly to our elected leaders.

Community members spoke about immigration delays, access to critical resources, work authorization, asylum, and the real impact federal policies have on their ability to work, care for their families, and build stable lives. Advocacy is more powerful when the people most affected have a voice in the conversation. We’re proud to help create opportunities for New Americans to share not only their experiences, but their ideas, leadership, and solutions with those shaping the policies that affect their lives."
