En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law but formally recognizes March 26, 2026, as We Are CASA Day at the state capitol. The resolution describes We Are CASA, an organization with more than 450 members in Georgia that works with immigrant and working-class families in Black, Latino, Afro-descendent, Indigenous, and immigrant communities. The text lists the group's activities, including advocacy on tenants rights and student safety, helping over 400 people get health insurance through a partnership with Kaiser Permanente, offering English classes and legal clinics, and registering more than 1,400 new voters through its affiliated group We Are CASA Action. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and the press.
