HR1863: HR1863 We Are CASA Day at the state capitol; March 26, 2026; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial measure from the Georgia House of Representatives that recognizes March 26, 2026 as We Are CASA Day at the state capitol. It does not change any law. Instead, it honors We Are CASA, a Georgia organization that says it unifies immigrant and working-class families across Black, Latino, Afro-descendent, Indigenous, and immigrant communities. The resolution's whereas clauses describe the group's activities, including organizing around tenant rights and student safety, helping people obtain health insurance, offering English classes and legal clinics, and registering voters through an affiliated group. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press, but creates no new programs, funding, or legal obligations.

• Formally designates March 26, 2026 as We Are CASA Day at the Georgia state capitol.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.
• Recites background about We Are CASA's community organizing, health insurance assistance, English classes, and voter registration work without creating any new legal requirements.

The resolution directly names We Are CASA and its more than 450 Georgia members, including immigrant and working-class families, as well as the House of Representatives and its Clerk, who is tasked with distributing copies of the resolution.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution rather than a law, it has no direct legal or financial effect on Georgians. Its practical significance is symbolic recognition of We Are CASA's work by the Georgia House of Representatives.

• The whereas clauses describe We Are CASA's mission, membership size, and activities such as tenant rights and student safety advocacy.
• The resolved clause formally designates March 26, 2026 as We Are CASA Day at the state capitol.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
