Welcome Immigrant Communities
The Priorities
Georgians who are foreign-born live, work, raise their families and help drive the state economy. They make up over 10% of Georgia’s population. For these Georgians to continue to create opportunities for themselves, for their families and for our state, GBPI is prioritizing the following priorities:
- Advocate for the expansion of access to driver’s licenses for all Georgians, regardless of legal status.
- Expand language access through multilingual communications that reflect the diversity and richness of Georgia’s immigrant communities.
