March Updates

March 31, 2021

In solidarity with Asian American immigrants in Georgia and across the nation.

As we celebrate COVID vaccinations and the passage of the Dream and Promise Act in Congress, March was a month of genuine reflection. With escalating physical violence against Asian Americans, we feel the need to lift up the Asian American immigrants who live in the margins of our society.

On March 17, in the aftermath of the tragic shootings in Georgia, we hosted a community healing space, and we continue to affirm our work in fighting for all immigrants — including Asian Americans.
