On Wednesday, March 19, a coalition of civil rights organizations including CAIR-Georgia, Asian Americans Advancing Justice- Atlanta, Project South, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR), and community leaders, plan to hold a press conference at the Georgia State Capitol to shed light on the targeted attacks against civil rights and social justice movements through racist, anti-dissent, and anti-Palestine bills that have stemmed from Project Esther and Project 2025.
