The resolution designates the week of February 24 through March 2 each year as "Say Something Week" in New Jersey, aimed at raising awareness and preventing youth violence in schools. It highlights the alarming statistics surrounding school violence, including the record number of school shootings in 2018 and the prevalence of suicide among children and teenagers. The resolution emphasizes the importance of empowering students to recognize warning signs and take action by reporting potential threats to trusted adults, as a significant number of school shooters and individuals contemplating suicide have indicated their intentions beforehand.

The initiative seeks to create a culture of vigilance and support within school communities, encouraging students to look out for one another and engage in proactive measures to ensure safety. The resolution calls for the Governor to issue a proclamation for Say Something Week and urges public officials, schools, and citizens to participate in related events and activities. By fostering an environment where students feel equipped to speak up about potential dangers, the resolution aims to contribute to the overall safety and well-being of students in New Jersey.
