A RESOLUTION
Recognizing April 5, 2025, as Run Atlanta 5K Day; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the 100 Black Men of Atlanta Inc., under the leadership of Chairman Sid Barron, proudly presents the Run Atlanta 5K, an event that symbolizes a collective commitment to health, wellness, and the reduction of violence in our communities; and
WHEREAS, this event will unite individuals across the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia in promoting physical well-being, peace, and safety; and
WHEREAS, the Health and Wellness Committee of the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, led by Dr. Winston Carhee, will focus on promoting the importance of fitness, healthy living, and disease prevention through the 5K race and related activities, and the Violence Prevention Committee, led by Joshua Byrd, will host the Sunrise Prayer for Violence Prevention and the Walk for Peace & Well-being, all of which reflects a collective resolve to combat gun violence and work toward a peaceful future for our youth, families, and neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, this event serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing need to address the impact of violence on our communities, particularly as we honor the life of Kenneth Collier Jr., a 17-year-old advocate for peace who tragically lost his life to gun violence and whose story, alongside that of his mother, Tamika Trimble, who was also a victim of gun violence, underscores the urgency of our shared mission to prevent future tragedies like theirs; and
WHEREAS, the 100 Black Men of Atlanta stands alongside local leaders, organizations, and judicial officials in Fulton County and across Georgia, working together to end violence and create safer environments for all residents, and their unwavering commitment to justice, peace, and community empowerment makes it possible for us to envision and work toward a brighter, more peaceful future; and
WHEREAS, the Run Atlanta 5K event offers an opportunity for us all to come together in solidarity while promoting the values of health, wellness, and violence prevention that are crucial to building strong, thriving communities, and we celebrate this initiative and encourage all citizens to participate, support the cause, and continue working toward a future free from violence.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize April 5, 2025, as Run Atlanta 5K Day. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
