CITY OF GLENDALE
WHEREAS, the Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life movement presents an ideal
opportunity to help bridge the gap between young people, our local community,
government and law enforcement in a positive way; and
WHEREAS, our local schools are facing preventable suicides and tragedies that
may include warning signs in person or online, but bystanders and friends remain
silent among threats or cries for help; and
WHEREAZ, our young people can be empowered to report concerning posts or
comments to school representatives or law enforcement, and adults can receive
training to help spread the message it is okay to care enough to speak up, stand up
and save a life; and
WHEREAZ, more than 3,000 Arizona students from 120 public, charter, private
and tribal schools have learned the message and created student-led impact
projects in their schools and communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jerry P. Weiers, Mayor of the City of Glendale Arizona,
on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim the month of January 2020, as
SPEAK UP, STAND UP, SAVE A LIFE MONTH
And I request that Arizona schools, students, parents, educators, police
departments, and community organizations are encouraged to coordinate a
variety of awareness and prevention activities designed to make our communities
safer and promote a healthy environment for all children and adolescents.
In witness hereof, I hereunto set my hand this 26th day of November 2019.
