| NDWA Joining Women's Delegation to Georgia to Investigate Anti-Immigrant Law |
|
On September 28 and 29, NDWA will join a delegation of women's organizations traveling to Atlanta, Georgia to bear witness to the effects on women, children and families of Georgia's new anti-immigrant law. Like Arizona's SB1070, Georgia's new HB 87 law threatens to have devastating effects on women and children, including an increase in racial profiling, the separation of families (children from parents), an increased fear of reporting crimes such as domestic violence and sexual assault; workplace raids; and the denial of services. Like the 2010 women's delegation to Arizona, this delegation will hear the real stories of the women and children affected by anti-immigrant legislation.
