                     RECOGNIZING GRANNIES ON GUARD

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, I rise to commend Grannies on Guard 
for their work to keep the Chattahoochee River Valley safe.
  Grannies on Guard was cofounded in 2021 by Charlie Adams and Rasheeda 
Ali, who lost her grandson Jaleel Rasheed Ali to gun violence. Their 
organization works to create a positive community environment for 
children ages 5 to 12. Partnering with parents, schools, civic and 
faith-based organizations, Grannies on Guard helps provide an 
alternative to gangs and violence through monthly meetings and 
community events at no cost to families.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I commend Rasheeda Ali, Charlie Adams, and 
the Grannies on Guard team for their work in the Columbus community and 
for their commitment to our children.
