AJR 129 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates week of February 24 through March 2 of each year as "Say Something Week."

AJR 129 designates the week of February 24 through March 2 each year as "Say Something Week" to raise awareness about preventing school violence. It requests the Governor issue a proclamation encouraging New Jersey middle and high schools to hold activities teaching students to recognize warning signs of potential violence or suicide and report concerns to trusted adults. The resolution aims to build a school culture where students feel empowered to act when they hear about threats, based on statistics showing many perpetrators shared their plans with others beforehand. This is a symbolic designation, not a binding law, and applies annually to all public schools in the state.
