About
Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta is the first nonprofit legal advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the civil rights of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) and Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities in Georgia and the Southeast. Founded in 2010 as the Asian American Legal Advocacy Center (AALAC), our organization became part of the Asian Americans Advancing Justice affiliation in 2014. Since then, we have re-organized our focus areas more specifically into four groups: Policy Advocacy , Civic Engagement & Organizing , Impact Litigation , and Legal Services .
Our vision is 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.
Asians are the fastest growing ethnic and racial minority in the country. The South experienced the fastest Asian population growth and Georgia is the flashpoint with one of the largest foreign-born populations in our region. Georgia’s Asian and Pacific Islander populations nearly doubled and now make up 350,000 or 4% of the state’s total population. Gwinnett County is home to the largest Asian community with approximately 97,960 Asian American residents (~11% of the total population).
