Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Atlanta

Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta is the first nonprofit legal advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the civil rights of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) and Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities in Georgia and the Southeast.

Through their work, Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta envisions a social movement in which communities of color are fully empowered, active in civic life, and working together to promote equity, fair treatment, and self-determination for all.

Founded in 2010 as the Asian American Legal Advocacy Center (AALAC), the organization became part of the Asian Americans Advancing Justice affiliation in 2014. Since then, they have reorganized their focus areas into four groups: Policy Advocacy, Civic Engagement & Organizing, Impact Litigation, and Legal Services.
