In 2017, Ed led a bipartisan, multi-racial effort to protect the freedom of assembly and protest in Georgia, receiving an award from Asian Americans Advancing Justice in Atlanta. From 2014-2016, Ed led a bipartisan effort to restrict public access to the criminal histories of Georgians who have been accused of crimes but found not guilty in a court of law. Previously, the mere accusation of a crime by one party could ruin the life of the accused, even when later found not guilty in a court of law.
