Today the Georgia Legislature adopted House Bill 30. This bill labels critiques of Israel & Zionism as antisemitic. We vehemently oppose House Bill 30 due to its threat to our First Amendment rights & suppression of political speech. Take Action here: bit.ly/SayNoHB30

Today is Crossover Day! Here are the bills we're watching. Stay tuned for updates:

SB 420, a discriminatory property bill and HB 1105, an anti-immigrant bill passed in the Georgia House and Senate and will go to the Governor to be vetoed or signed into law. Call the Governors office at 404-656-1776 and demand that he veto SB 420 & HB 1105.

We are excited to announce our support for 6 candidates for office in the 2024 GA Primary. These candidates were selected because of their values alignment with AAAF, their levels of community engagement, and their vision to be strong advocates for Asian American communities.

Georgia officials demonized, criminalized and devalued immigrants by passing HB 1105. Georgia is our home and we will continue to feed, clothe, and build infrastructures for all Georgians even when elected officials fail us. #VETOHB1105 Brian Kemp #gapol
