Welcome to the 2020 Legislative Session

With the first week of the legislative session in Georgia rolling in, the Asian American Advocacy Fund (AAAF) is excited to begin the session.

We are also proud to announce our three new policy fellows that will be joining us, Amar Delkic from Georgia State University, Mia White from Georgia State University, and Imane Bassit from The University of Georgia. Amar is currently studying Economics with a minor in political science with ambitions of pursuing a PhD in Europe in either political science or public policy. Mia is currently studying Media Entrepreneurship with intentions to receive a business analyst role in the renewable energy field and eventually aspires to own her own environmentally friendly commercial real estate firm. Imane received her Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs from UGA in May of 2019 and is currently pursuing a Master of International Policy, and is interested in human rights work, public policy, and human security.

As the first week in the capitol wrapped up, the AAAF got a good step in the door by networking and speaking to representatives and senators. We are working with our partners to push reforms in an effort to expand justice and advocacy for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders This legislative session, AAAF will be closely monitoring any bills related to immigrants, voting rights, economic justice and access to education.
