Asian American Legal Advocacy Center holds Legislative Strategy Session and Dinner

On Wednesday, Jan. 4, the Asian American Legal Advocacy Center (AALAC) kicked off the new year with its annual Legislative Strategy Session and Dinner. Participants included (L-R) state Rep. Pedro Marin (D-Duluth), Helen Kim Ho of AALAC, Larry Pelligrini of the Georgia Rural Urban Summit, Karen Bremer of the Georgia Restaurant Association and Sharon Hill of Georgia Appleseed.

The session was designed to highlight important legislation impacting the civil, social and economic rights of Asian and other immigrants that we anticipate during the 2012 Georgia legislative session. Special thanks to our wonderful panelists, photographer Eric Voss and the 30-plus people who braved the cold to join us.
