Asian American Advocacy Fund

ICE raids do not make our communities safer. They target our local businesses, places of worship, neighbors, and coworkers. These are people who hold our communities together. We condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with those impacted. #GAagainstICE

This is the power of your voices. We can make sure our elected leaders speak up and represent us. This is a step forward, keep pushing! Thank them & call for further action: @ossoff : 202-224-3521 (DC), 470-786-7800 (GA) @SenatorWarnock : 202-224-3643 (DC), 770-694-7828 (GA)

AAAF condemns Emory University's response to today's planned day of peaceful demonstrations. We stand in strong and unwavering solidarity with the pro-Palestine and Stop Cop City movements in Atlanta and nation-wide.

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 @BrianKempGA #gapol

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.

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.

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

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

instagram.com/p/C2iWVa6tUJu/… View our full statement on HB30 on IG. This bill creates a legal framework based on a discredited definition in order to challenge, intimidate, and silence pro-Palestinian advocacy. We must take action!

Mark your calendars & join us! Asian American Advocacy Day is on February 15th! This is a unique opportunity for Asian American community members to make connections in order to advocate for a better Georgia for us all. Sign up today at bit.ly/aaad2024

AAAF is disappointed by the GA General Assembly’s decision to once again pass maps that are not equitable for BIPOC communities. We will continue to work to ensure that all voters of color have the same opportunities as white voters, to elect their candidates of choice.

As Jewish Georgians, we unequivocally condemn recent comments made by Representative Esther Panitch (@epanitch) that compare Jewish Voice for Peace members to Nazi sympathizers. Our statement 🧵 stateaffairs.com/georgia/qa/est…
