WE THANK YOU FOR YO 6 Organizations for E As we come to the end of a very challenging year, our team at STERN Law wants to take this time to thank the many organizations who work to make sure we have a better and brighter future. PROJECT SOUTH This organization was first founded in 1986 as the Institute to Eliminate Poverty & Genocide. Their mission is to strengthen leadership and to provide political and economic education for personal and social transformation. When the pandemic hit, Project South launched into action by providing six weeks of free testing and increasing their mutual aid efforts throughout South Atlanta. Find them at ProjectSouth.org. GLAHR The Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights was established in 2001 and works to educate, train, and organize the Latino community in Georgia to defend and promote their civil and human rights. You can join their fight for immigrant rights, volunteer at events, and participate in community meetings by visiting their website: GLAHR.org. ASIAN AMERICANS ADVANCING JUSTICE For nearly 30 years, the Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC) has fought for Asian Americans’ civil and human rights throughout the country. AAJC has five affiliating organizations across the country that all strive to help Asian Americans create a better future by increasing awareness, creating stronger ties, and educating people about their rights.

WINTER ROAD TRIP ESSENTIALS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED A Driver’s Guide to Safe Holiday Travels On Sept. 24, 2019, more than 2.5 million people passed through TSA checkpoints at airports across America. On the same date this year, those terminals saw just 826,316 travelers — a nearly 70% drop. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Americans have been thinking twice about air travel, and this holiday, millions of would-be flyers will set out on road trips instead. Road tripping is a great way to avoid contact with a lot of people, but it can also be dangerous, especially in winter weather. Fortunately, you can take several steps to keep your family safe. Getting your car checked before you go, for example, can save you a lot of hassle on the road, as can investing in a set of snow tires. It’s also smart to take precautions such as letting a friend or family member know your route, predicted arrival time, and where you plan to stop for gas along the way. Apart from that, one of the best things you can do is pack an emergency kit. AAA sells premade kits through outlets like Amazon, and you can find a basic kit with things like jumper cables, ponchos, rope, batteries, pliers, zip ties, and a first-aid kit at pretty much any Walmart or sporting goods store. You could even save a life by adding a few more essentials to your kit, like a blanket, snacks, and an extra cellphone charger. At this point, you’re almost a safety black belt. But to take your kit to the next level for winter driving, there are three more little- known items you should stash in your trunk: a shovel, a bag of sand or cat litter, and an extra bottle of windshield wiper fluid. If you get stuck in a snowbank, the shovel will help you dig your way out without risking frostbitten fingers. The sand or cat litter will boost your traction if you sprinkle it around your wheels in an icy spot, and the extra wiper fluid will make all the difference if you run out during a snowstorm.
