A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

 

proclaiming January 2019 as Care Enough to Get in the Way Month.

 

 

(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)

 


Whereas, the "care enough to get in the way" movement presents an ideal opportunity to help bridge the gap between our local communities, government and law enforcement in a positive way; and

Whereas, local schools are facing unnecessary tragedies in which warning signs are placed on social media or observed in person but are not being reported as serious threats or cries for help; and

Whereas, our youth need to be empowered to report concerning posts or comments to law enforcement or school representatives and to spread the positive message about caring enough to get in the way—to speak up, stand up and save a life; and

Whereas, in January 2017, more than 700 students from 55 West Valley schools gathered at the inaugural "Get in the Way" Youth4Youth Conference where they learned that it's okay to care enough to get in the way and were encouraged to take this message back to their schools and communities.

Therefore

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:

1.  That the Members of the Legislature proclaim January 2019 as Care Enough to Get in the Way Month.

2.  That the Members of the Legislature support Arizona schools, students, parents, educators, police departments and community organizations in their efforts to engage in a variety of awareness and prevention activities designed to make our communities safer for all children and adolescents.
