ATLANTA—The Asian American Legal Advocacy Center Inc. (AALAC) invited Asian refugee children to become the faces of its innovative billboard campaign, Vote For Our Future, which was unveiled Sept. 24 on the eve of National Voting Day in Gwinnett County, a suburb of Atlanta, Ga. An estimated 200,000 people will pass the billboards each day.

Many Asian immigrants come to America for their children’s futures, yet in one way they fail their children, according to Helen Kim Ho, executive director of the AALAC of Georgia—the first nonprofit law center dedicated to Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in the Southeast.
