Fulton County District Attorney's Office

Today, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office commemorates Juneteenth, the day when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Texas—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Juneteenth honors the resilience, strength, and contributions of formerly enslaved people and serves as a reminder of our nation's ongoing pursuit of justice, equality, and opportunity for all.

As we reflect on this important day in American history, we remain committed to serving our community with fairness, integrity, and respect for the rights and dignity of every person.

In partnership with Trinity Presbyterian Church, Georgia Justice Project, Fulton County Clerk of Superior Che Alexander, and Fulton County Superior Court Judge Eric Dunaway, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office Record Restriction Department is hosting a Job and Resource Fair on Saturday, July 11, 2026 from 10am – 12pm.

Record Restriction provides eligible individuals with the opportunity to have certain criminal records restricted from public view, helping to open doors to employment and meaningful personal growth. This event will connect participants with employers, offer valuable career development guidance, and provide access to a wide range of community resources.

Join us on July 11th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at Trinity Presbyterian Church, located at 3003 Howell Mill Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30327, to strengthen your job prospects and explore opportunities designed to support your future success.

With the FIFA World Cup now underway in Atlanta, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is sounding the alarm about a wave of scams targeting seniors.

Willis co-sponsored a free elder abuse prevention and education event Thursday morning at the Harriett G. Darnell Senior Multipurpose Facility in Atlanta, bringing together law enforcement partners to help seniors and their families recognize and avoid fraud.

"Our seniors are the best of us," Willis said at the event. "They are the people that are going to try to help us, and sometimes, because they don't like conflict and they have that foundation, it makes them a good target."

Today is a beautiful day in Fulton County.

I cannot thank enough for sponsoring a proclamation recognizing the passage and signing into law of House Bill 1283, and Commissioner for serving as a co-sponsor.

Commissioner Barrett has been a steadfast champion of this initiative from the very beginning. She has worked tirelessly to ensure that women, children, and families in Fulton County have access to the resources and support they need. She took a genuine interest in this effort, attending meeting after meeting, participating in trainings, and helping move this vision forward. Her commitment to victims and survivors has been unwavering.

House Bill 1283 marks a major step forward for survivors and families across Georgia by paving the way for the establishment of Family Justice Centers throughout our state. Family Justice Centers are a nationally recognized model that bring law enforcement, prosecutors, advocates, counselors, and community organizations together under one roof to provide coordinated, compassionate, and victim-centered services.

This work is deeply personal to me. Since taking office, one of my top priorities has been bringing a Family Justice Center to Fulton County in honor of my aunt, Brenda Baham, who was murdered by her husband—my uncle of more than 30 years. Her loss inspired me to remain committed to a career in prosecution after receiving that harrowing call as a young prosecutor and ultimately led me to seek the office of District Attorney.

For years, members of my team and I have traveled across the country studying successful Family Justice Centers, identifying best practices, and developing a vision for what this resource could mean for victims and survivors in Fulton County. House Bill 1283 also strengthens protections for survivors by significantly extending the retention period for sexual assault kits in certain cases.

Thank you again to Commissioners Barrett and Arrington for standing with me and championing this important issue. I look forward to continuing our work with community partners to open Fulton County's first-ever Family Justice Center.
