Community Dinner - Take Action on Land Laws

Community Dinner - Take Action on Land Laws

In partnership with Asian Americans Advancing Justice -Atlanta, AREAA Atlanta, and Georgia AAPI Hub, we are hosting a community dinner to inform and engage impacted individuals on bills in the Georgia State and House chambers (SB 420 and HB 1093) that could threaten the ownership, purchase, and lease of property. The bills target people from China, however, many other immigrant groups could be impacted as well. These bills could result in discrimination against people for how they look, regardless of whether they are Chinese or have U.S. citizenship.

Join us for dinner as we learn how we can come together as a community to stop these discriminatory legislations. Lawmakers from the AAPI Law Caucus will attend and can help answer any questions you may have. This is a very important issue, and it is crucial that lawmakers know you are engaged!

Where: Canton House, 4825 Buford Highway NE, Chamblee, Georgia, 30341

When: Tuesday, February 20, 2024, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

RSVP: bit.ly/0220communitydinner

社區晚宴,抗議反亞裔和反移民立法

我們正在舉辦一次社區晚宴,知會可能受到喬治亞州和眾議院議事廳的法案(SB 420 和 HB 1093)影響的人士,這些法案可能會威脅到財產的購買、租賃和擁有權。該法案針對的是來自中國的人,然而,許多其他移民群體也可能受到影響,例如來自香港、朝鮮、伊朗、古巴、俄羅斯和委內瑞拉的移民群體。這可能會導致對人們外貌的歧視,無論他們是中國人還是擁有美國公民身份。

請來了解這些法案,以及我們作為一個社區如何參與其中,阻止這些種族主義和歧視性立法。來自亞太裔法律核心小組的一些立法者將出席,並可以解答您可能有的任何問題。這是一個非常重要的問題,讓立法者知道你的參與至關重要!

地點: 富麗華, 4825 Buford Highway NE, Chamblee, Georgia, 30341

時間: 2024 年 2 月 20 日星期二,下午 6:00 至晚上 8:00
