Georgia Hispanic group training volunteers for voter drive

“After months of rallies, marches and other protests against state and federal immigration legislation they call discriminatory, Georgia Hispanic groups on Saturday began moving their fight to a new front - the ballot box.

The Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials hosted about two dozen volunteers from across the state for a voter registration training session.

The session was part of “Democracy Summer,” a nationwide effort by unions, Hispanic activists and religious groups trying to convert the street protests of recent months into political power.”
