LAWRENCEVILLE - Immigrant rights activists plan to hold a racial profiling forum in Gwinnett County Saturday

The ``Know Your Rights/Tell Your Story'' forum is set for 1:00. It's the third such forum held by Atlantans Building Leadership for Empowerment and the Georgia branch of the American Civil Liberties Union.

It aims to give community members a chance to share testimony about experiences of racial profiling and to make sure people know their rights.

It comes just a few weeks after the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office implemented a new federal partnership that allows local enforcement of federal immigration laws.
