Former POTUS Trump among 19 indicted by Fulton County DA

BY ITORO N. UMONTUEN

On a warm Monday evening in Atlanta, Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis indicted nineteen people on forty-one felony counts related to the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia. Former President Donald J. Trump, former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani, Mark Meadows, Trump-appointed lawyers, and everyone else listed vin the indictment were charged under the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

The 98-page indictment alleges the nineteen co-conspirators acted together to overturn and subvert the will of the people in the state of Georgia.

“Defendant Donald John Trump lost the United States presidential election held on November 3, 2020,” the indictment states. “One of the states he lost was Georgia. Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.”

The other individuals that were charged are: former Georgia Chair of the Republican Party, David Shafer, state Sen. Shawn Still; attorneys John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Bob Cheeley, Ray Smith III and Kenneth Chesebro; former assistant U.S. attorney general Jeffrey Clark; former Coffee County GOP chairwoman Cathy Latham; Atlanta bail bondsman Scott Hall; former Coffee County elections director Misty Hampton; GOP strategist Michael Roman; publicist Trevian Kutti; Illinois pastor Stephen Cliffguard Lee; and Harrison Floyd, who served as director of Black Voices for Trump.

Here is the breakdown of the forty-one counts:

22 counts are related to forgery or submitting false documents and statements

8 counts are related to soliciting or impersonating public officers

3 counts are related to the influencing of witnesses

3 counts are related to election fraud or defrauding the state

3 counts are related to computer tampering

1 count related to racketeering

1 count related to perjury

This group of nineteen people constituted a criminal organization, according to the indictment. Moreover, the six unindicted co-conspirators in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probe were named in Fani Willis’s indictment.

Giuliani, who pioneered the RICO Act when he took on the mafia, the five families in New York in 1985, now faces thirteen charges for his actions in Georgia. Tuesday morning, he released the following statement, which read in part:

“This is an affront to American Democracy and does permanent, irrevocable harm to our justice system.”

Here are the four ways an individual can be charged under the RICO Statute and how it differs from the federal version of this law:

1. By directly or indirectly acquiring or maintaining any interest in or control of any enterprise, real property or personal property through a pattern of racketeering or the proceeds derived from the activity;

2. By directly or indirectly participating in an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity while being employed by, or associated with, the enterprise;

3. By conspiring or endeavoring to directly or indirectly acquire or maintain any interest in, or control of, any enterprise, real property or personal property through a pattern of

racketeering activity or the proceeds derived from a pattern of racketeering activity; or

4. By conspiring or endeavoring to directly or indirectly participate in an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity while being employed by, or associated with, the enterprise.

Donald Trump’s attorneys described the indictment as “shocking and absurd.” The lawyers, Drew Findling, Jennifer Little and Marissa Goldberg, also said, “We look forward to a detailed review of this indictment, which is undoubtedly just as flawed and unconstitutional as this entire process has been.”

It is likely the Trump team will try to get this case thrown out of Fulton County Superior Court and into the federal courthouse due to a more conservative jury pool.

How did we get here?

No matter their view, the indictment that was handed up to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney and brought by Fani Willis centered around the January 2021 phone call in which Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find a certain number of votes:

“All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state. Flipping the state is a great testament to our country. It’s a testament that they can admit to a mistake. A lot of people think it wasn’t a mistake, it was much more criminal than that. But it’s a big problem

in Georgia, and it’s not a problem that’s going away.”

The indictment also mentions the criminal organization, namely Giuliani, demonized former Fulton County Ruby Freeman, alleging she committed voter fraud on November 3, 2020. Plus, the allegations made by Trump were:

“That Ruby Freeman was a professional vote scammer and a known political operative. And That Ruby Freeman, her daughter, and others were responsible for fraudulently awarding at least 18,000 ballots to Joseph R. Biden at State Farm Arena in the November 3, 2020, presidential election in Georgia.”

Freeman was named 30 times in the indictment.

A right to a fair and speedy trial

Willis admitted her intention is to try all nineteen co-conspirators at once and is seeking a trial date within six months. That is technically a lot. Willis also admitted she did not consult Special Counsel Jack Smith regarding the information in their respective prosecutions.

“I don’t have any desire to be first or last,” said Willis. ”We do want to move this case along and so we will be asking for a proposed order that occurs, a trial date within the next six months.”

A person convicted of racketeering under the Georgia law can face up to twenty years in prison and a fine, in addition to the penalty for the underlying crime(s).

All Eyes on Atlanta as multiple plots thicken

BY DONNELL SUGGS

A group of photographers and TV cameramen started running from in front of the Lewis R. Slaton Fulton County Courthouse where they had been stationed all morning in anticipation of any news on indictments on former United States President Donald J. Trump went to the corner of Pryor Street and MLK Blvd.

There they would see Fulton County Sheriff’s Department deputies aggressively approach a small group of Cop City protestors from Community Movement Builders, a local nonprofit organization. The sheriff’s department attempted to drown out the protestors’ chants of “Stop Cop City,” No Justice, No Peace, F&*k those racist ass police,” and “Andre Dickens, Donald Trump, I don’t know the *expletive* difference” by sirens and bullhorn requesting that they take the protest off county court property.

The entire time major TV networks, print publications and websites took account of the incident.

All eyes are on Atlanta these days and it doesn’t look like it will change any time soon as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is presenting 2020 Georgia election investigation findings to a grand jury. The Stop Cop City rally took place around 11 a.m. Monday morning, taking full advantage of the amount of media that had been positioned outside of the county courthouse night after night for the past week and a half.

The state of Georgia rose to national prominence during the most recent gubernatorial and senatorial races that helped make Stacey Abrams, Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock and Senator Jon Ossoff household names. The excitement around Georgia politics has yet to cool off.

Fulton County Sheriff’s deputies, some on motorcycles, made the protestors move down MLK away from the courthouse. During the mini-standoff, Community Movement Builders organizer Keyanna Jones hoped the deputies had the same energy and interest if pro-Trump rallies or protests take place in front of or near the courthouse this week.

“Fulton County was extremely aggressive in the way they came out.They tried to push us away,” said Jones. “They made a very big physical showing against a group of students and I don’t think they really understand what this is going to do. It’s a bad look.”

Community Movement Builders has plans for more protests and rallies going forward.

“They are down here because Trump’s motorcade is going to come through and they are trying to protect the [former] president, so stay over there,” she said. “We are over here, we are not bothering them.”

Locals are also keeping their eyes on everything taking place downtown. Felix Jones, 48, has a personal interest in the indictments. He told The Atlanta Voice of Trump, “I want him to be indicted.” A native of East Point and a Democrat, Jones admitted that he did not vote for Trump in either of the two past presidential elections.

Joetta Burnette, a 71-year-old Alabama native and resident of Atlanta since 1977, said of all of the cameras and security around the courthouse, “This has been an interesting time” and of the 45th President of the United States, “He should be indicted. Nobody is above the law. Trump is one of the biggest criminals in America.”

Monday night Willis announced 19 indictments related to the electors scheme which sought to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia.

A “Stop Cop City” rally made its way over to the Fulton County courthouse on the morning of Monday, Aug. 14. All of the major TV networks, local radio and print journalists were on hand to cover it all.

60 Years Later, We March on Washington Again

BY REV. AL SHARPTON

Sixty years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a historic march in Washington, D.C., at a time when the nation was at an inflection point. Hundreds of thousands gathered at the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, 1963, as Dr. King called for better wages, jobs, voting rights and true representation, fair housing, and equality across the board.

Six decades later, so many of those hard-fought gains are under renewed threat, along with an increase in hate crimes and democracy itself hanging in the balance. We as a country are at a crossroads; do we continue on the path of progress, or do we revert back to the dark days?

The vast majority are united, and we will raise our voices in unison for a clarion call for fairness and justice at the March on Washington once again.

My organization, National Action Network, and I have been diligently working with Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, and the Drum Major Institute as we place the final touches on this momentous demonstration. We will lead a coalition of 60 national groups that span across racial, cultural, religious, and generational lines at this pivotal event on August 26 in D.C. The 60 partner organizations for the 60th-anniversary march include the Anti-Defamation League, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, the NAACP, the Center for Reproductive Rights, UNIDOS, the National Urban League, GLAAD, and so many more. At a moment when all of our civil rights are under attack, a united front is the key to pushing back against both a climate of hate and mechanisms that would like to undermine all that we have achieved.

In March, the FBI released an updated report on hate crimes in 2021 (the latest year for which data is available). According to those stats, hate crimes rose 12% from the previous year, with 65% of victims being targeted because of their race or ethnicity. We con-

tinuously learn about attacks on Black and Brown folks, members of the Asian community, the Jewish community, the Muslim community, the LGBTQ+ community, and others.

White supremacist groups are on the rise, and some elected officials (and others seeking office) have only fanned the flames of this hatred and created an environment of fear and uncertainty for so many. We say, no more.

At the same time, laws are being implemented that strip away reproductive rights and civil rights.

Last year, the Supreme Court dismantled abortion rights and opened the floodgates for legislation around the country that severely limits a woman’s right to choose and her ability to maintain bodily autonomy.

Just this summer, the highest court in the land effectively ended affirmative action in higher education, which will have a detrimental impact on Black students’ enrollment in many institutions. Several Republican attorneys general have even attempted to extend such measures into corporate America by putting pressure on Fortune 100 companies to not adhere to DEI programs or any race-based personnel decisions.

The Supreme Court also limited LGBTQ+ protections earlier this summer by ruling in favor of a web designer who wanted the

ability to refuse to create websites celebrating same-sex weddings.

The Court also destroyed President Biden’s student loan debt forgiveness program, which will directly impact Black and Brown students and adults the most as they carry a disproportionate amount of debt compared to their white counterparts.

And, of course, back in 2013, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act itself, essentially eliminating the requirement that localities with a history of discrimination get approval from the federal government before enacting changes.

As a result, dozens of states established strict new voter ID laws, eliminated early voting days, closed polling locations, and more. New restrictions are being conjured up even today, making it more and more difficult for people to cast their vote.

While we raise awareness around these issues and organize, we are simultaneously fighting back against continued police brutality. Despite a fewsigns of progress, like the prosecution and conviction of former officer Derek Chauvin (for George Floyd’s death) and the DOJ investigating police departments like the one in Memphis (following the death of Tyre Nichols), there are still far too many incidents of police abuse, shootings, excessive force and a criminal justice sys-

tem in need of dire reform. This is why we still demand passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

When Dr. King convened that massive crowd 60 years ago on the National Mall, he demanded civil and economic rights for the Black community, and laid out his dream for America. While we celebrate the advancements achieved since that historic moment, we recognize the clear and present dangers before us.

That is precisely why the 60th anniversary March on Washington won’t be a commemoration, but rather a continuation of Dr. King’s work and vision.

When I founded National Action Network in 1991, with the support and blessings of the King family, I vowed to carry on his fight for freedom, fairness, and justice. On August 26, that continued push for equality and Dr. King’s dream will lead us once again to the nation’s capital.

As our multiracial, intergenerational demonstration meets at the Lincoln Memorial and marches to Dr. King’s memorial, I am reminded of his timeless words:

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

True faith requires action, so act accordingly

You guys have heard, read my feelings about faith actually being a verb. Regardless of when and how you found religion, what are you going to do about it now?

Faith being a verb rather than a noun requires action. That action, in my opinion, should actually be based on the faith of what you believe.

For example, if you believe Jesus is who He said He is, then do you still gossip? Do you continue to spread rumors and innuendo?

Are you forgiving of the flaws and faults of others? Do you really turn the other cheek?

I mean, faith as a verb demands active behavior consistent with the belief that all things have a purpose far beyond the realm of today. Our understanding, then, is pretty much incidental to the faith we claim when it comes to our actions.

Mercy, charity, and love all have a place in your everyday experience in the world of human beings. If your faith is so shallow that the

only thing that touches your heart is just that, the things you can touch and feel and see, then you’ve missed the point of eternal existence.

Faith in the Almighty literally means claiming the life that Jesus promised abundantly. Believe it or not, that life did not begin the day you were born and will not end the day you die.

So says every professed Christian on the face of the planet. But how you handle this short conscious existence goes a long way towards the quality of your afterlife.

“All things work together for good according to the lord and those who have been called according to his purpose.” –Romans 8:28.

The consequence of faith then means realizing that according to God’s purpose, your role is clear.

One must act on the Word of God as given by Jesus Christ. One must live rather than merely profess faith. One must be a church rather than just attend one.

So often in scripture, we are reminded that Jesus was focused on a lifestyle pleasing to His father. As a matter of fact, he was appalled at the use of “The Law” as an excuse not to fulfill the purpose of “The Law.”

Jesus accepted any and all who believed in the Son of Man as also the Son of God. He, therefore, demanded appropriate behavior from apostles, elders, gentiles and sinners alike.

The higher up the religious hierarchy, the more Jesus expected to be done on behalf of the unenlightened. The more faith you profess, the more knowledge you gain, the

more selfless you should become.

I guess all I’m trying to say is the dynamics of faith over time, will demand that your lifestyle reflect an awareness of spiritual consequence for your actions or lack thereof.

“Therefore brother, we have an obligation…” –Romans 8:12.

We must live according to the Spirit within us rather than the passions that would corrupt us. A faithful Christian knows the difference and functions accordingly.

“We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage…” –Romans 12:6-8.

Simply put, that’s my point. This is the kind of knowledge that separates “gonna” from “do.”

May God bless and keep you always.

“The indictment, I think, could have been done, maybe two years ago. I think now they are politically motivated because he’s going to run for President again and I think they realize that he has a better shot than last time. So that is why they just waited a little while. Or they could have just been collecting all of the information. I just think they could have done it way sooner than now.”

“I think he [Donald Trump] deserves what’s happening to him now. I don’t think it’s politically motivated because it’s an act that was committed while he was President. So there’s nothing that says he shouldn’t get the same penalties as any other citizen. Unfortunately, he was President and it does give a bad taste that we have to do this to a President but we all have to suffer the consequences of our actions and I don’t think it’s politically motivated.

“Do I believe Donald Trump deserves everything he’s getting? Yes I do, because any other person that would have done the things he did, would have been arrested on the spot. Yes I do believe he deserves everything he’s getting. Do I believe it’s politically timed? Yes I do. They’ve had more than enough time to do an investigation and bring him up on charges but they waited until now, just before an election year to try to get him out of office or prevent him from going into office.”

“A crime is a crime. I mean they would have hung us for it. I feel like he needs to face the consequences. Is the timing politically correct? People are backtracking our crimes from twenty years ago and slapping us with the rulebook. Hey, if we have to follow the rules, everybody else has to follow the rules too. Donald Trump did a great job as far as blessing the economy. But a crime is a crime and if we are going to be slapped on the wrist for what we do, everybody else needs to be held accountable as well.”

Spotify grants five multiyear scholarships to Spelman student creators

BY JANELLE WARD

Spotify announced in a news release on Wednesday that the company is awarding multiyear scholarships to five freshman Spelman College students as a part of its NextGen audio program, an initiative developed to increase college students’ access to resources and opportunities in audio media.

Spotify introduced the NextGen programming to three predominately white institutions before expanding the program to Spelman’s campus last fall. Spelman is the first HBCU to partner with Spotify since the

program’s establishment.

Rokiyah Darbo, Bailey Johnson, Tellisa Massey, Taylor Mills and Ashley Rawls, who were selected based on their interest in audio-based content creation for podcasting, music production and storytelling purposes, will each receive $10,000 to be used toward tuition for each of their remaining three years as Spelman undergraduates, as well as invitations to become ambassadors for the company.

“Together, we’re setting out to create a new class of Black content creators—equipping them with tools and resources to develop their podcast skill sets and ultimately

making a career in audio more accessible for the next generation of storytellers,” said Kristin Jarrett, Spotify’s equity and impact lead. “But this is just the beginning, and I’m eager to expand Spotify’s NextGen program to more HBCU campuses in the future.”

The scholarship is one of three opportunities that Spotify has created for Spelman College students through its partnership. The company also helped launch a curriculum tasking students to record and edit a seven-episode podcast under the direction of Spelman English professor Michelle Hite. The podcast, which details the murder and legacy of Emmett Till, is now available to lis-

teners on Spotify’s platform.

Additionally, representatives from Spotify’s podcasting team will lead a weeklong training seminar consisting of interactive workshops, teaching students how to create their own podcasts using the company’s comprehensive podcasting tool, Spotify for Podcasters.

In the future, Spotify plans to set up a professional podcasting space on Spelman’s campus and extend consideration for internship opportunities to students within the company.

Spotify also intends to announce its second HBCU NextGen partner this fall.

User’s Guide: MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES

How Foreclosure Works

The loan a person takes out to to buy real estate such as a house or condominium is called a mortgage and requires monthly payments. In Georgia, if the property owner falls behind in making those payments, the lender, such as a bank, can sell the property at auction to settle the debt. Doing so is known as foreclosing on a property.

These auctions take place the first Tuesday of every month (or the first Wednesday if the first Tuesday falls on a holiday) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the steps of the county courthouse. The auction of properties in Fulton County takes place in downtown Atlanta on the front steps of the Fulton County Courthouse at 136 Pryor St. Georgia law allows lenders to conduct an auction without going before a judge on one condition: The lender must give the borrower—and the public—proper, legal notice of its plans to foreclose. Proper notification means advertising in the county’s official legal newspaper. In Fulton County, that official newspaper is the Daily Report. The lender must advertise its intent to foreclose once a week for the four consecutive weeks leading up to the “first Tuesday” sale date. To auction off a property the first Tuesday of March, for example, a lender must have published a foreclosure notice during each of the four weeks of February.

How to Use the Information

• Property Owners: Protect Your Interests

During the weeks leading up to the auction date, many property owners are able to work things out with their lenders, seek bankruptcy protection or line up other arrangements to prevent the bank from selling off their homes. If your lender has started foreclosure proceedings against your property, these listings provide you with an extra alert— over and above the official notice published in full in the Daily Report—to take action.

See MORTGAGE, Page 2

Introduction from the publisher

Get behind on your mortgage, and you could lose your home. Don’t pay your property taxes, and you might similarly find your house auctioned off on the courthouse steps. Both types of forced sale, known as foreclosure, involve complicated legal procedures. We’ve designed FCDR ConsumeR AleRts to take some of the mystery out of the process and to alert consumers to how and when to take action.

We can provide this service because, by law, no foreclosure can occur unless properly announced in the official legal newspaper of the county. That’s required for the benefit of the property owner but also for the community at large. The publication requirement is founded upon the same notions of due process, open government and community awareness that underlie American democracy, and it’s a practice at least as old as the country itself.

Since 1890, the Fulton County DAily RepoRt has served as Fulton County’s newspaper of record for public notices. Each day, important public information courses through our pages in the form of hundreds and hundreds of official notices. We’ve designed FCDR ConsumeR AleRts to present that information in

an easy-to-understand and easy-touse format.

Thanks to a partnership between the Fulton County DAily RepoRt and the AtlAntA VoiCe, FCDR ConsumeR AleRts will reach tens of thousands of county readers each month. We’ve also made a database of the information available on the Internet, expanding the utility and reach of county information even further. At www.fcdr.com, members of the public can make intelligent searches and link to the full text of official public notices as originally published in the DAily RepoRt

On the following pages you’ll find this month’s FCDR ConsumeR AleRts, along with user’s guides that help explain the legal procedures at work, the different forms of public notice, and how to make the most of the information.

As always, we welcome your thoughts. If you have any suggestions or comments about how we can improve FCDR ConsumeR AleRts, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the address below.

User’s Guide: TAX FORECLOSURES

Local government runs on property taxes. That’s why Georgia law imposes severe penalties for failing to pay them. If left unresolved, a bad situation easily can become worse, forcing a homeowner in arrears to choose between paying a small fortune or losing the family homestead.

It doesn’t have to come to that. And in fact, there are several opportunities throughout the property tax collection process that allow the homeowner to come current and avoid the worst. We’ve designed our tax sale listings to make sure homeowners don’t miss those opportunities.

We’re able to provide this service because the Daily Report is the official newspaper of the Fulton County courts. Throughout the process in Fulton County, the law requires the various collection participants to publish several different forms of notice in the Daily Report Those notices form the basis for the listings below.

How the Collection Process Works

Our tax sale listings represents a compilation of information from the following types of public notices:

• Non-Judicial Tax Sale

• Redemption Rights Deadline

• Judicial Tax Hearing

• Judicial Tax Sale

• Quiet Title

Here’s how the tax collection process works, what the different notices mean, and when they come into play.

More Than One Way to Collect

Your obligation to pay property taxes is backed by the property itself. Fail to pay, and the county tax commissioner

Words of Caution

Neither the Daily Report nor The Atlanta Voice is responsible for any errors or omissions in the FCDR Consumer Alerts listings. The information is neither official nor complete, but merely an abstract of the first-run public notices appearing in the Daily Report . For the complete and official public notice, consult the printed Daily Report. Information in the official notices comes directly from the advertisers with no independent verification. These listings do not include any subsequent cancellations or subsequent corrections advertisers may have made to their notices.

Just because a property is advertised for foreclosure does not necessarily mean it is in foreclosure or that the owner is in arrears. Some notices result from misunderstandings. Oftentimes matters are worked out (or halted) well in advance of the auction date but after the notice has been submitted for publication. Just because a property isn’t listed here doesn’t mean it’s not in foreclosure. Again, these listings are by no means the official notice.

The person listed as owner may not necessarily be the present title holder. Indeed, your property may well be listed under the name of a prior owner.

Mortgage value information merely reflects the amount of the original loan amount as listed in the foreclosure notice, not the balance due and not the value of the property.

Neither the Daily Report nor The Atlanta Voice is responsible for any investment decisions based on this information. Neither do they make any representations regarding title or the existence of any liens or encumbrances. Readers of this report should do their own research and consult a real estate, legal or investment professional.

• Neighbors: Know What ’ s Going On

Use these listings to stay informed about your neighborhood. By law, and for important reasons of public policy, foreclosure notices are for the public. They can tell you whether you have a neighbor in need. They can help answer questions you might have about abandoned or poorly maintained property near you. They can give you insight into property values in your neighborhood. Indeed, a foreclosure taking place in your neighborhood can affect your own property values.

• Homebuyers, Investors: Find a Bargain Foreclosure notices provide valuable

30004

mortgage foreclosures

leads to prospective homebuyers and real estate investors. Houses facing foreclosure often go for bargain prices. These listings, organized by zip code and street address, can help you spot those potential bargains. The summary information, of course, is just a starting point—a lead to initiate your own research. In addition to bidding for a house on the courthouse steps, there are ways to buy the property in advance of foreclosure by dealing directly with the lender’s attorney or the property owner, both generally listed below. But be warned: Buying a house facing foreclosure is not for the faint of heart. In general, you must buy the property as is, without an opportunity for inspection. You have to pay with cash or certified check. And

all sales are final. To say the least, make sure you do your homework, do a complete title search, consult with a professional and, above all else, think twice.

• Lenders: Protect Your Interests

Many properties are subject to more than one loan, such as a home equity loan or second mortgage. If the lender holding the first mortgage sells the property off at foreclosure, the rights of the secondary lenders may be wiped out. If you have lent someone money against his or her property, or if you hold a lien, these listings provide you with an alert—in addition to the official notice published in full in the Daily Report —so that you can take action to protect your interests.

Without complete addresses

can sell the real estate to raise the amount due in back taxes. It’s an awesome power, and it takes the form of a lien.

Think of a lien as a parking boot the county clamps on your property. As with that more physical form of restraint, a lien against your property can stop you cold. It can interfere with your ability to transfer the property or even to borrow against it. If you do manage to sell the property, the lien sticks to it, interfering with the next owner’s title.

By law, the county tax commissioner automatically gains a lien against property the first day property taxes come due, Jan. 1 of each year. Once the owner pays the taxes, the lien dissolves.

When the property taxes become past due, the tax collector can proceed in one of two ways- Non-Judicial Tax Sale which doesn’t involve going to court, and Judicial Tax Sale , which must. Both types of proceedings rely upon the sheriff to conduct the sale. Each has its own purpose and its own advantages to the tax collector. More important to the homeowner, each has its own set of procedures and its own types of public notice.

Non-Judicial Tax Sale

Non-judicial tax sale is the most common route for the tax commissioner to take. After the payment deadline passes, and after providing the owner with written notice, the tax commissioner turns the matter over to the sheriff by issuing what’s called a tax fi. fa. or writ of execution.

Fi. fa. is the abbreviation of a Latin term meaning “cause it to be done,” and the writ, in this case, formally commands the sheriff to sell the property at auction to the highest bidder. The sheriff has no choice in the matter. The ensuing process is known as sheriff’s levy and sale.

As a first step, the sheriff must send out written notice and also publish a Notice of Sheriff’s Sale in the Daily Report. Those notices, grouped under the heading NonJudicial Tax Sales , are generally the first form of notice to hit the Daily Report and therefore usually represent the first alert appearing in the listings below.

If you see a property in which you have an interest listed as the subject of a Non-Judicial Tax Sale, you need to contact the sheriff ’s office and the county tax authorities.

If the notice lists a private investor, that means the county has transferred the tax lien on your property (explained below), and you should contact that party.

After meeting the law’s notification requirements, the sheriff auctions the property to the highest bidder on the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta at 136 Pryor St. S.W., the first Tuesday of the month. The money raised goes toward the back taxes, and the bidder now takes ownership to the property.

The original homeowner still has a way to get the house back (explained below, under Redemption), but it’s now a matter between old owner and new; the county is out of the picture.

The Legacy of Lien Transfers

Until May 2002, Georgia law let the county turn matters over to the private sector even sooner. Instead of pursuing the non-judicial sale procedures itself, the county could sell off its tax liens to private investors. The investors paid off the back taxes and then handled the rest, including having the sheriff conduct a non-judicial sale. Although the Georgia Legislature halted the practice during its 2002 session, enough transferred liens remain outstanding that homeowners need to know about them.

For one thing, a transferred tax lien can lie dormant for a few years and thus catch the homeowner unawares when the private investor finally decides to execute on it. That’s because the purchaser of a tax lien does not have to demand a sheriff’s sale of the property right away. Some transferees hold on to the lien without taking any action for a couple of years, thus allowing the interest and penalties—the value of their investment—to grow. As the penalties compound, it becomes harder and harder to get one’s property out of hock.

Redemption: Rescuing Your Property

Once the property is sold on the courthouse steps, the former owner still has the chance to rescue the property through a process called redemption. To regain good title to the property, the homeowner must reimburse the purchaser the amount paid at auction, plus penalties, interest and, sometimes, costs.

An owner has the opportunity to redeem as a matter of right for 12 months following the sale. But the window to redeem actually may stay open longer, depending on when the tax-sale purchaser takes action to cut off the owner’s right of redemption.

That action is technically known as foreclosing the right to redeem. The term “barment” has also come into parlance to describe the procedure for cutting off the owner’s right to redeem. By whatever

name, it has the effect of giving the taxsale purchaser title to the land (subject to other possible liens).

Twelve months after the sale, the purchaser can send out notice to the homeowner giving the person a deadline to pay up and reclaim the property or lose all rights to it. The tax-sale purchaser gives notice by mail and also by publishing in the Daily Report a Notice to Foreclose the Right of Redemption, a form of public notice we group under the heading Redemption Rights Deadline

If your property appears in the listings below as subject to a Redemption Rights Deadline, you can rescue the property by contacting the purchaser and tendering the full redemption amount before the announced cutoff date.

Judicial Tax Sale

The second and less common means of property tax collection is judicial tax foreclosure sale. When the tax authorities take that route, they have to wait a little longer to act, and they have to go to court, but it’s ultimately a more decisive process. In general, the county avails itself of this process as a way to put abandoned and blighted property in better hands.

Twelve months after the property taxes first become due on Jan. 1, the tax collector can file a petition in Fulton County Superior Court to conduct a foreclosure sale on the property in arrears.

Note, the legal action is filed not against an individual, such as the owner of record, but against the land itself, a procedure in law known as an action “in rem.”

The first published notice announces a hearing in Superior Court on whether a tax foreclosure sale should be permitted. Notice to the property owner of the county’s intent to foreclose on the land includes mailed notice and the publication of a Notice of Judicial In Rem Hearing, grouped in the Daily Report under the heading Judicial Tax Hearing

If you see your property listed below as subject to a Judicial Tax Hearing, you need to contact the county tax commissioner and attend the scheduled hearing in Superior Court, but consult a lawyer.

Once satisfied that the tax collector has met the law’s notice and other procedural requirements, a judge issues an order allowing a foreclosure sale of the property.

With that order in hand, the tax collector then must publish in the Daily Report a Notice of Judicial In Rem Foreclosure Sale, which we’ve organized under the heading Judicial Tax Sale

If you see your property listed below as subject to an impending Judicial Tax Sale, you need to contact the tax commissioner ’s office and make arrangements to settle your tax delinquency and stop the sale.

The property owner has the right to redeem the property up to the moment of sale, which generally takes place the first Tuesday of the month following the published notice.

The law gives the owner one last chance at redemption. For 60 days after the sale, the owner can pay the redemption amount, which now includes not just the back taxes and penalties but also the amount paid for the property at auction. If the owner misses that opportunity, then title to the property passes to the purchaser at auction.

Quiet Title

Title to property bought at tax foreclosure sales, particularly non-judicial sales, is generally considered clouded. That can cause complications when the new owner decides to sell or finance the property. To fix that, most purchasers undertake Quiet Title proceedings, seeking a declaration that they own the real estate free and clear. The process involves filing a petition with the Superior Court, mailing out notice, and publishing a Notice to Quiet Title in the Daily Report

If you see your property listed as subject to Quiet Title proceedings, you may be able to file pleadings in Superior Court to intervene. Consult a lawyer.

Uptown Atlanta signs two new retail tenants

BY JANELLE WARD

A barbershop and kickboxing gym are the next establishments in line to open locations in Uptown Atlanta.

The 47-acre mixed-use development brings on its next two tenants in the midst of a redevelopment phase initiated by Rubenstein Partners, a Philadelphia-based private equity fund manager that acquired the property in 2019.

“As we round out Uptown’s retail mix, we are focused on bringing in homegrown concepts from Atlanta’s very best,” said George Banks, founder of Uptown Atlanta’s retail leasing partner, Revel, in a statement. “The Commodore and Roundhouse Kickboxing will bring a dynamic energy to the development and strategically diversify Uptown’s retail and restaurant experience to serve

the office component and the thousands of apartments and homes that surround the property.”

Located steps away from the Lindbergh Center Transit Station, Uptown Atlanta is home to almost 1 million square feet of office

space and an additional 120,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. The development is also located minutes away from state Route 400 and Interstate-85 by car and will intersect community walking trails PATH400, the South Fork Trail and the Belt-

Line once construction is complete.

Plans to update the former Lindbergh City Center were announced to begin in 2021, with developers investing more than $160 million into revitalizing the retail destination over the past two years.

Roundhouse Kickboxing will take up 3,750 square feet in a unit facing Piedmont Road and will serve as the business’s third location in greater Atlanta. The facility will feature space to host high-intensity fitness classes as well as in-house locker rooms and showers.

The Commodore, a local barbershop chain currently operating three locations around metro Atlanta, will face the district’s Main Street and is expected to open its doors later this year.

Roundhouse Kickboxing is slated to open at the beginning of 2024.

Health Hidden Heat Risk for Black Student Athletes

BY ANNISA DURHAM

In August 2019, 16-year-old high school junior Imani Bell collapsed while doing drills outside with her basketball team in sweltering 90-degree heat. She died of heatstroke. Bell’s father told CBS News, she was revived twice. But her “body was so hot that it went right back into cardiac arrest.”

2019, the year Imani died, was the second-hottest year on record. Fast forward four years and 2023 is on track to be the hottest in recorded history.

Why does this matter? Because heat is no longer just an inconvenience. Extreme heat can lead to death — especially for young athletes.

June 2023 was the warmest June on record for the globe, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information. With the wildfires in Canada, record-low sea ice, and tropical storms impacting the globe — the earth is experiencing devastating climate change. States such as Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and California are enduring heatwaves of unprecedented magnitude.

For high school student-athletes, practicing in these temperatures can easily become dangerous.

Adults typically have an easier time spotting the signs of heat-related illnesses. But for younger children and high schoolers, recognizing the symptoms and speaking up can be a much more difficult task.

With rising temperatures comes an increased risk of student-athletes experiencing sudden cardiac arrest and heat-related illnesses. At least 200 students have died while playing high school sports, within the last 10 years. An investigation by the Courier Journal found that many states don’t have policies in place to protect young athletes from heat-related death or illness.

Imani Bell didn’t have any pre-existing health conditions, but there is a disorder that puts Black youth at higher risk.

Triggering a Sickle Cell Crisis

Sickle cell trait is a blood disorder that affects one-to-three million Americans. With 8-10% of African Americans inheriting the disorder. During strenuous physical activity or dehydration, red blood cells become deformed or sickled. Patrick Mularoni, division director of Sports Medicine at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, outlines why this can be threatening.

“If they’re not well hydrated, and it’s hot outside, they go into a sickle cell crisis,” he says. “They actually have an episode where it

causes them to collapse. They have no blood flow; the sickled cells block blood to muscles, and the muscles don’t work.”

But part of the problem is that many Black folks unknowingly carry this trait. All babies are screened for sickle cell status within 24 to 48 hours after birth. Mularoni says sometimes that information doesn’t get shared with the athletes themselves or those in their care.

“People with sickle cell trait … for some reason, it has not been prioritized for them to know that information and to share that information with caregivers, athletic trainers, and with their coaches,” he says.

Living with sickle cell trait does not disqualify someone from playing sports. Rather, it’s important for coaches to be aware of the condition. For young athletes without blood disorders, playing sports in high temperatures comes with different concerns.

After the end of the school year finishes, many youths are in air-conditioned rooms during the summer months. Mularoni says this can be harmful.

“Heat climatization is a very big deal and very important for any athlete,” he says.

If an athlete’s body isn’t gradually reintroduced to the heat, dehydration can happen, and folks can experience heat exhaustion, Mularoni says. And in more severe cases, an athlete may experience heat stroke, when the body can no longer control its temperature.

Water Breaks and Close Monitoring

To play safely, Stanley Spinner, chief medical officer and vice president of Texas Chil-

dren’s Pediatrics and urgent care, outlines what parents and coaches need to do. His first piece of advice is to hydrate every 15 to 20 minutes.

“Don’t get to the point where you’re feeling really thirsty and overheated. That’s already too late,” he says. “You need to pace yourself and be aware of how long you’re outside, and you need to be drinking constantly.”

It’s not just direct sunlight folks need to be aware of. It’s also the surfaces athletes play on. Tennis players who play on asphalt may experience higher exposure to heat because the surface is going to be even hotter than sports practiced on grass.

The telltale signs of heat exhaustion include dizziness, muscle cramping, feeling lightheaded, and nauseous. If a young athlete starts to show signs of heat exhaustion, Spinner says they need to get into a cool environment immediately.

“People don’t realize how quickly this can happen,” he says. “Unfortunately, (heat-related illnesses) happen every year, because people just don’t think it will happen to them.”

But Spinner says prevention is key.

Teaching Kids to Be Aware of Their Bodies

While there are some risks with playing sports outdoors during extreme heat, one Alabama mom is making sure it’s safe and enjoyable for kids. Jania Otey, executive director of Kids & Culture Camp, holds virtual and in-person classes to help children learn about different cultures. One of the key aspects of her camps is outdoor playtime.

Camps are held every summer in Wash-

ington, D.C., with children ages three to 12 and counselors in training ages 13 to 17. As a result of the Canadian wildfires, the kids weren’t always allowed to go outside to play. They had to regularly check the air quality index, to make sure it was safe.

Depending on the outdoor temperature, Otey says kids probably should not be outside. If there is an opportunity for children to play inside at an indoor gym, that’s more advisable. But it’s also important for her team to communicate with the children, as parents are oftentimes not present at these sporting events.

“We teach our children to live mindfully and to be aware of their bodies and how they are feeling,” she says. “Making sure that they can communicate to an adult, particularly the young ones, is very important.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black children between the ages of 1-4 died of hyperthermia at higher rates in Southern states than in non-Southern states between 1999-2016. Black children had the highest reported death rate than any other race during these years.

As children develop, playing outside promotes curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. Studies show children who spent more time in nature exploration have improved learning outcomes and less anger and aggression.

Otey says outside time for children, whether they are just running around or playing a structured sport, helps with social interaction. In the age of social media and video games, children are on electronics a lot more than when she was growing up. For her summer camp, they don’t place emphasis on electronics.

“With the levels of child obesity, making sure there’s an exercise regimen in our children’s schedules is important,” Otey says. “Health and wellness are something I’m a huge advocate for. And it starts at home.”

Adults are responsible for the well-being of the children and young athletes in their care. Otey says it’s crucial schools have guidelines in place to prevent heat-related illnesses and sudden death in youth athletes.

“Although there’s risk associated with joining a team and playing a sport, the risks of not doing that are much larger than the benefits associated with playing a sport,” Mularoni says. “Being a part of a team, the camaraderie, the learning, and the fitness outweigh the risks of having heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Playing sports is a good thing, we just have to prepare for it.”

Extreme heat can be fatal without hydration and breaks. Black student-athletes living in Southern states are at a higher risk. hoto by RF._.studio/pexels

Childhood friends create Switch, an audio-based relationship app

BY NOAH WASHINGTON

Born from a long-lasting friendship, the Switch Dating app takes a unique approach to modern app-based dating with a unique twist—embracing the power of audio. Corey Staples and Kiana Mincey are co-founders of the audio-based dating app, Switch.

The story of Staples and Mincey’s friendship and business relationship began during their shared experiences in middle and high schools. There they bonded over basketball and track. This friendship deepened as they competed in track and field events, even achieving state championships together for Buford High School. The pair remained close following graduation.

From there both would attend college separately, Staples graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelors of Science in Telecommunications and later earned a Masters of Science from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU). Mincey graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelors of Science Communications in Media Studies and Masters of Arts in Integrated Global Communication.

Mincey secured a job in Connecticut at ESPN and her time there exposed the limitations of existing dating apps. She found that her experience with dating apps was emphasizing superficial interactions over genuine connections. Concurrently, Staples was pursuing a career in sports broadcasting merged with her interest in tech and app development. This convergence sparked their vision to create a dating app prioritizing authentic conversations and meaningful bonds.

In early 2021, Mincey found herself exploring uncharted territory. "When 2021 started I had, you know, I was just really thinking about different apps,” Mincey said.

Her idea took shape as a response to her own experiences. "I really wasn't on dating apps before that. I tried dating apps and I had like three or four at the time, and all of them were just garbage,’ Mincey explained.

Mincey frustration with the lack of meaningful connections and the cumbersome process of setting up in-person meetings was difficult. However, an unexpected encounter with a live audio platform, Clubhouse, turned the tide. "I found myself at 3:45 in the morning, still in these chat rooms, because I'm just really enjoying connecting and networking with people," she shared.

This revelation marked the beginning of her journey to create the Switch Dating app, a platform centered around genuine conversations, bridging the gap she identified in the dating app landscape.

Mincey roped in her childhood friend, Staples, who is the company’s co-founder and COO. Together they sought expertise in app development and design. Designli, a design firm located in South Carolina, yielded a prototype that materialized their concept. However, they soon parted ways due to financial considerations, leading them to an unforeseen ally, Isaac Hayes III.

Hayes III, the CEO of Fanbase, offered an unexpected source of inspiration and guidance. His parallel journey in app development echoed their aspirations. Through diligent research, Corey and Kiki discovered

ConsultR, Isaac's chosen design firm, presenting the potential to actualize their vision.

Continuing their relationship with ConsultR, Staples and Mincey are now on the cusp of launching a crowdfunding campaign via Startengine, the public crowdfunding investment platform to secure a $1 million dollar raise.

Never wavering from the course, the founders did find their share of problems as startup founders.

“We are Black female founders and in the market in general, any market when you're

starting in business as a Black founder, especially as a Black woman, it's very challenging. A lot of people think that Black founders that have businesses it’s automatically assumed by a majority of the market that this product or whatever it may be is for only for black people,” Mincey told The Atlanta Voice.

Seemingly, standing out in the dating app culture when Hinge and Tinder are already recognizable in the public zeitgeist would be difficult, but Mincey and Staples believe that Switch offers something that other dating apps can’t compete with.

“People have Hinge, Tinder and Bumble, right? So it's not that daunting to think that we're going against these big names, because at the end of the day, they're going to have what they're used to, but they're going to want to try something new,” Staples told The Atlanta Voice.

Holding this steadfast belief staples continued that people already keep multiple or similar apps on their phones already and that the freshness of Switch will make them stand out in the marketplace.

“We know what we have is so different that people are going to be incentivized to want to download it and try something new just because people have multiple dating apps on their phone. But what we have is different and what we're offering is different. So I wouldn't say that in any of the slightest Kiki (Kiana’s nickname) and I have ever been or felt challenged by what they have going on. We’re in our own lane,” Staples told The Atlanta Voice

Lifestyle Street Lines: 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4WD

BY DENNIS MALCOLM BYRON AKA ALE SHARPTON

The Pathfinder’s well-received makeover in 2022 led the way to significant upgrades in design, features, power, and accommodations. The Street Lines review of the 2023 Rock Creek edition made it evident this vehicle was one of the top SUVs for the year. This time around, we got to experience the second of five trims—Platinum 4WD edition—which is geared for those demanding a more upscale, pampering ver-

sion compared to the more rugged, off-road approach of the Rock Creek. The other three are the S, SV, SL, with the Platinum being the top of the line.

Platinum’s regal status of the series is justified with numerous standouts including the vibrant 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, leather seating with the front two having ventilation, tri-zone climate control, powered steering wheel with tilt, head-up display, an extra USB port, a home-style 120-volt power outlet, rain-sensing windshield wipers, remote engine start, intelligent around-view

monitor, traffic sign recognition, and handsfree power liftgate. The 20-inch wheels, LED lighting package, roof rails, and panoramic moonroof certainly please the eye as well. Options such as the second row’s captain chairs, removable center console, and lighting package featuring illuminated kick plates come recommended.

Under the hood, there is a sufficient 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine peaking at 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque with a ninespeed transmission, and as expected, stellar handling with the 4WD enhancement.

Nissan has done an impressive job with the legendary Pathfinder, and with five options to choose from including the luxurious Platinum, any SUV enthusiast will be surely satisfied.

Fuel Economy: 20 city/25 highway/22 combined.

Price: $49,870 ($54,050 with Captain Chairs Package, carpeted floor mats, Lighting Package, two-tone paint, and LED fog lamps)

Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” exceeds the hype in Atlanta

BY ITORO N. UMONTUEN

Fifteen minutes into the first night of the “Renaissance World Tour” stop at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter quickly found out the city of Atlanta was ready for her! Yes, the BeyHive here in Atlanta (plus members throughout the southeastern U.S. and around the world) have prepared for this night for about six months. Yes, she has performed in twenty-six cities prior to Atlanta and sure, snippets of each concert can be pieced together on social media.

But, as the lights dimmed and the opening animations played on the screen and the clouds slowly revealed a portrait of Beyoncé, the crowd was agape with awe when the 32time GRAMMY winner said, “Atlanta, Georgia… I love you!”

Phones were out and everyone stood while Beyoncé performed “Dangerously in Love,” while wearing a number by Guarav Gupta. Bey was styled by the great Shiona Turini. While we’re here, her makeup artist was Rokael Lizama. Her hair was styled by Neal Farinah, and her jewelry is from Tiffany & Co. Lastly, Bey stepped on stage wearing shoes by Christian Louboutin.

“Dangerously in Love” was followed by “Flaws and All.” As Beyoncé sat on a silver grand piano, it was the opening salvo for what would be a 150 minute visual masterpiece. It must be noted, we won because the crowd was able to mute themselves while Bey performed “ENERGY.” That will be something the next two shows must live up to.

Throughout the show, Beyoncé performed songs from “Renaissance,” as expected. During the show, Bey weaved in her classics such as “Formation,” “Before I Let Go,” and various vamps which included her past hits like “Freakum Dress” from her 2006 album, “B’Day.”

Additionally, the crowd was able to sing the runs that Bey would normally perform during “Love on Top.” That was a moment.

Bey took fans on her voyage to find a source to charge her inner being… assembly line frequency as she tapped her MPC, she also tweaked her show to include shoutouts to Grace Jones, a tribute to the late, great Tina Turner, Madonna, “Jilly from Philly” aka Jill Scott, and many others.

Anytime a concert’s tour stops in Atlanta, there are subtle differences compared to any other tour stop. Yes, Bey performed in Nashville, Charlotte, and will later perform in Tampa, Miami and New Orleans. But an Atlanta tour stop has extra energy because our city embraces a star unlike anyone else. An Atlan-

ta tour stop also means a visit to undoubtedly the most unapologetically Black city in America.

Plus, an Atlanta tour stop is star-studded. Usher and Jay Z were the most notable guests, which also included Kandi Burruss, Ms. Tina Lawson, Holly Robinson Pete, Kenya Moore, Teyana Taylor, Summer Walker, 2 Chainz and 21 Savage. Saturday night, Quavo, Porsha Guobadia, Chloe and Halle Bailey, Devale and Khadeen Ellis, plus T.S. Madison were among the celebrities in Club Renaissance.

An Atlanta tour stop will also mean concert-goers, as we like to say, “put that **** on!” Some fans spent thousands on their outfits while others chose to display their creativity in an attempt to pay the appropriate amount of homage to their favorite singer. In this case, the capacity crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium wore everything from the cowboy hats, silver pants, shorts, even chaps!

A highlight of the show was seeing Amari Marshall take the stage as she danced with Blue Ivy Carter. Marshall took time away from the tour as she mourned the loss of her big brother, Andre, during the European leg of “Renaissance.” Amari is a choreographer that has previously worked with Ciara and Madonna, and she has taken Blue Ivy under her wing.

Another notable highlight of the show that got everyone up was the vogue ballroom interlude which featured Honey Balenciaga, as she took the stage for her solo. The crowd was on their feet cheering because like I said earlier, Atlanta is a top three tour stop for anyone and everyone hoped Honey Balenciaga would be accounted for!

According to Billboard, Beyoncé’s European leg of her tour sold more than one million tickets and grossed $151.4 million. Additionally, according to Forbes, “Renaissance” could gross between $275 million and $2.4 billion from tickets alone by the time it ends on October 1st in Kansas City. Those estimates are based on a median ticket price of $700 per ticket. That does not include ticket sales on the secondary markets.

Yes, $2.4 billion!

The fact is this: fans value the live event experience! The last time Beyoncé performed in Atlanta was in 2018 when the “On The Run” tour stopped at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Her last solo tour was in 2016 when she famously asked the ladies to “get in formation.”

After three sold out concerts with more than 155,000 people packing The Benz across three nights, Bey rightfully described herself: “I’m one of one. I’m number one. I’m the only one.”

Kia sedans, coupes and SUVs of all colors, makes and models

lined up inside the gates of the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center Saturday morning. Some would get help fighting the recent rash of thefts of Kias digitally, while others received hardware that might help.

Both Kia USA and the City of Atlanta participated in a theft software upgrade event outside of the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center Saturday morning. The event allowed local Kia owners to either get a free software update for models between the years 2011-2021 or receive a free wheel lock.

The wheel locks were distributed by Atlanta Police Department officers and investigators. A number of Atlanta Police Academy recruits were seen taking boxes of the wheel locks off of a truck and onto

a table for distribution. Up to 1,000 wheel locks were on hand for Kia owners that were eligible for the software upgrade.

Volunteers from Kia Manufacturing

Georgia in West Point and Calavan Kia, a dealership in Lithia Springs, also helped expedite the lines and check VINs for eligibility for the software updates.

Multiple Kia models have been stolen in Atlanta at an accelerated rate. The 2011–2021 Forte, 2021–2022 K5, 2011–2020 Optima, 2011–2021 Rio, 2011–2021 Sedona, 2021–2022 Seltos, 2010–2022 Soul and 2011–2022 Sorento have been targeted the most, according to a million-dollar settlement in California.

The move to make security software updates available can be seen as a way to get out in front of any potential settlements in Georgia. Hundreds of Kia owners experienced their cars being stolen this year.

“There are two levels,” said James Bell, head of communications for Kia America, about being involved in the event Saturday. “The Atlanta Police Department has been proactive about helping with crime

issues involving Kias and we have a big production plant in West Point, so we love Georgia.”

The event took place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and took between 10-15 minutes to be downloaded into the systems. Stickers were placed on the front windshields of cars as they left the Civic Center. The hope is that thieves will think twice about stealing the cars that have the most up-todate technology.

Safety tips listed on a flier distributed by Kia volunteers asked owners to not leave keys or key fobs in cars, leave cars running while unattended, and to leave cars locked “every time you walk away from it.”

Bell stated that there will be more events like this taking place around the country. “If this event goes well, and by the looks of things it is, we might be back in Georgia to do this again,” he said.
