In plain language
This is a commendatory resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a type of measure that expresses recognition or praise rather than changing state law. It honors The Trenches Global Impact Center, a free youth community center founded by Rashod Stanley after his release from prison, along with his Trenches Global fashion brand. The resolution describes the center's mentorship, workforce development, and community outreach work, including reaching over 2,000 families through meal distributions and toy giveaways. It notes the organization's plan to open a new 10,000-square-foot location in Atlanta on February 21, 2026. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy for delivery to Rashod Stanley. It creates no new legal requirements or funding.
