En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizes January 18, 2025 as Manuel Estevan Paez Teran Day. Teran was an environmental activist who was killed in Atlanta on January 18, 2023 while protesting. The resolution states that Teran worked to protect forests and nature and envisioned a more just world. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.
