<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />
<br />
Critics, including civil and human rights groups, say the legislation would severely hinder Georgia industries dependent on migrant labor and likely trigger tourism and product boycotts.

  • Capitol Police today arrested six undocumented youths who blocked traffic near the Gold Dome to protest Georgia's controversial immigration law.<br />
<br />
Protest organizers say the students arrested were Dulce Guerrero, 18; Jessica Vasquez, 18; Rolando Zenteno, 16; Nataly Ibarra, 16; Felipe Baeza, 24; and Leeidy Solis, 16. The organizers say all are Georgia residents and high school students, with the exception of Baeza, who lives in and recently graduated from college in New York.<br />
<br />
"I am so happy to do this because we need to stand up for what we believe," Ibarra, a senior at Pebblebrook High School, said before being arrested. "I am tired of having to live in the shadows.".<br />
<br />
Today's protest comes several months after more than 100 protesters  including seven undocumented students  urged Georgia State University not to comply with a law that prohibits undocumented immigrants from attending some of the state's most competitive public colleges. The seven youths were arrested after sitting in the middle of Courtland Street but were not deported.<br />
<br />
A federal judge yesterday temporarily blocked parts of Georgia's law that penalizes people who aid or transport undocumented immigrants or fail to verify whether employees are authorized to work in the United States. The state says it will appeal the decision.<br />
<br />
UPDATE 5:18 p.m.: A spokesman with the Georgia Department of Public Safety, which oversees the Capitol Police, says in a statement that the six were arrested "after blocking the intersection by sitting in the roadway and failing to disperse." All six are being charged with with reckless conduct, obstructing law enforcement, and obstructing a street.<br />
<br />
The three adults  Baeza, Vasquez and Guerrero  are being transported to Fulton County Jail. The three juveniles will be released to their parents "with copies of the charges for Juvenile Court proceedings."

  • ATLANTA, GA - April 5, 2011: More than 100 protesters led by seven young people brought to the United States as young children  and who were later arrested after blocking traffic in protest  marched through downtown Atlanta to raise awareness about undocumented youths.<br />
<br />
After a rally in Hurt Park near Georgia State University, protesters delivered a letter to the schools admissions office which asked GSU officials not to comply with a ban on undocumented immigrants that takes effect this fall. <br />
<br />
The Georgia Board of Regents in October voted to prohibit undocumented students from attending five of the states most selective colleges.<br />
<br />
After delivering the letter to surprised admissions officials, the hundreds-strong crowd marched and chanted "Education, not deportation," Undocumented and unafraid" and "Education, not segregation."<br />
<br />
The seven undocumented youths then unfurled banners and sat in the middle of Courtland Street, blocking traffic for close to an hour before they were all arrested. Late Tuesday evening, U.S. Customs and Immigration enforcement officials were reportedly determining whether the arrested students would face deportation.<br />
<br />
"I am doing this for my family, for my brothers and sisters, said Dayanna Rebolledo, a 21-year-old factory worker and student who came to the United States from Mexico when she was 9 years old. We are undocumented and unafraid. We are standing up for those undocumented who are afraid and who are in the shadows. We are risking everything to give our community a chance."

  • ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 24 , 2011: "You must not give up," Representative John Lewis told the thousands of protesters gathered outside the Georgia capitol to loudly oppose two controversial pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration. "We are all brothers and sisters we are all one family, " Lewis shouted to the cheering crowd. "If anyone of us is illegal we are all illegal. There are no illegal human beings. If any of you get arrested and go to jail I am prepared to go to jail with you. We will get justice in the state of Georgia!"<br />
<br />
Police estimated approximately 6,500 people attended the event. Chanting and holding signs with such messages as "No human is illegal" and "Stop racial profiling," the crowd urged Gov. Nathan Deal to veto whichever bill state lawmakers ultimately approve. <br />
<br />
Between speeches by immigration advocates, Democratic state lawmakers and religious leaders, the Indigo Girls performed for the large crowd. <br />
<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />

  • Amy Miller, a local waitress, has no health insurance. She was part of a rally and vigil sponsored by Health Care for America Now, MoveOn Political Action and Healthcare NOW in Centennial Olympic Park Dec. 10. <br />
<br />
"The healthcare system is broken," Dr. Minesh Shah, a doctor of internal medicine at Grady Hospital, said during the vigil. "What motivates me is what I see every day, it's a moral outrage.".According to Shah 45,000 people die a year from lack of health insurance making the lack of access to health insurance the 9th leading cause of death in the United States. Shah was joined by several speakers, including, Sen. Vincent Fort, Sen. Nan Orrock and Larry Pellegrini, Executive Director of the GA Rural Urban Summit. Mayor elect Kasim Reed also sent a statement supporting the work of the groups sponsoring the march and vowing to do his part to effect positive change. "Health care problems are every one's problems and we cannot flourish as a community until they are adequately addressed and inequities are nonexistent," Reed's statement read.<br />
<br />
Following the speakers the group of about 30 people marched to the front of the CNN Center on Marietta Street carrying fake coffins and signs calling for healthcare reform.

  • ATLANTA, GA - April 5, 2011: More than 100 protesters led by seven young people brought to the United States as young children  and who were later arrested after blocking traffic in protest  marched through downtown Atlanta to raise awareness about undocumented youths.<br />
<br />
After a rally in Hurt Park near Georgia State University, protesters delivered a letter to the schools admissions office which asked GSU officials not to comply with a ban on undocumented immigrants that takes effect this fall. <br />
<br />
The Georgia Board of Regents in October voted to prohibit undocumented students from attending five of the states most selective colleges.<br />
<br />
After delivering the letter to surprised admissions officials, the hundreds-strong crowd marched and chanted "Education, not deportation," Undocumented and unafraid" and "Education, not segregation."<br />
<br />
The seven undocumented youths then unfurled banners and sat in the middle of Courtland Street, blocking traffic for close to an hour before they were all arrested. Late Tuesday evening, U.S. Customs and Immigration enforcement officials were reportedly determining whether the arrested students would face deportation.<br />
<br />
"I am doing this for my family, for my brothers and sisters, said Dayanna Rebolledo, a 21-year-old factory worker and student who came to the United States from Mexico when she was 9 years old. We are undocumented and unafraid. We are standing up for those undocumented who are afraid and who are in the shadows. We are risking everything to give our community a chance."

  • ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 24 , 2011: "You must not give up," Representative John Lewis told the thousands of protesters gathered outside the Georgia capitol to loudly oppose two controversial pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration. "We are all brothers and sisters we are all one family, " Lewis shouted to the cheering crowd. "If anyone of us is illegal we are all illegal. There are no illegal human beings. If any of you get arrested and go to jail I am prepared to go to jail with you. We will get justice in the state of Georgia!"<br />
<br />
Police estimated approximately 6,500 people attended the event. Chanting and holding signs with such messages as "No human is illegal" and "Stop racial profiling," the crowd urged Gov. Nathan Deal to veto whichever bill state lawmakers ultimately approve. <br />
<br />
Between speeches by immigration advocates, Democratic state lawmakers and religious leaders, the Indigo Girls performed for the large crowd. <br />
<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />
<br />
Critics, including civil and human rights groups, say the legislation would severely hinder Georgia industries dependent on migrant labor and likely trigger tourism and product boycotts.

"I am doing this for my family, for my brothers and sisters, said Dayanna Rebolledo, a 21-year-old factory worker and student who came to the United States from Mexico when she was 9 years old. We are undocumented and unafraid. We are standing up for those undocumented who are afraid and who are in the shadows. We are risking everything to give our community a chance."

  • ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 24 , 2011: "You must not give up," Representative John Lewis told the thousands of protesters gathered outside the Georgia capitol to loudly oppose two controversial pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration. "We are all brothers and sisters we are all one family, " Lewis shouted to the cheering crowd. "If anyone of us is illegal we are all illegal. There are no illegal human beings. If any of you get arrested and go to jail I am prepared to go to jail with you. We will get justice in the state of Georgia!"<br />
<br />
Police estimated approximately 6,500 people attended the event. Chanting and holding signs with such messages as "No human is illegal" and "Stop racial profiling," the crowd urged Gov. Nathan Deal to veto whichever bill state lawmakers ultimately approve. <br />
<br />
Between speeches by immigration advocates, Democratic state lawmakers and religious leaders, the Indigo Girls performed for the large crowd. <br />
<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />
<br />
Critics, including civil and human rights groups, say the legislation would severely hinder Georgia industries dependent on migrant labor and likely trigger tourism and product boycotts.

  • February 27, 2009 - Atlanta, Georgia :  Hundreds of people stood in the pouring rain outside the Georgia state capitol to protest the Obama administration's stimulus package. <br />
<br />
The "Atlanta Tea Party" was one of many Tea Party events that took place across the nation February 27, 2009. The idea originated from CNBC analyst Rick Santelli's on-air rants last week for a new "tea party" to protest the stimulus plan from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.<br />
At the Atlanta event this afternoon people clumped together under an array of umbrellas, many getting soaked to the bone during the rainstorm. The 40-minute demonstration included speeches by some members of the Georgia Legislature. <br />
<br />
The crowd whooped and roared as people from the microphone railed about the "socialists running the country," called for extensive tax cuts, read the Declaration of Independence and defended the sanctity of the Constitution. The event ended with demonstrators dumping tea bags into a bucket.
