SPEAKER: VERONICA PIEDRA grew up in south Phoenix in a neighborhood where gang violence and drug dealing was a normal everyday thing. She managed to keep away from the streets, in fact was a straight A student, but at the age of 9, her step dad began to sexually abuse her and did so until the age of 13 when she finally had the courage to tell her mom who slapped her called her a liar. Veronica was married for 3 years before her husband became violent, it escalated to the point that one day he beat her beyond recognition in front of her kids school, spit on her and left her for dead.

SPEAKER: JOSH ZAYAS was born in the ghettos of South Bronx, NY to two drug-addicted parents. He saw his mother prostitute herself just to pay rent at an early age. His father died of AIDS due to sharing needles when Josh was just seven-years-old. He saw everything, including his mother being domestically abused. He stole, tagged up property, and fought men twice his age with baseball bats. His life was heading in the wrong direction until the day he signed up to serve his country in the Marine Corps. After an incident that gave him an early discharge from the military, Josh was lost once again until the day he found God. He now serves as an ordained minister who writes Christian films. His latest movie, The Franklin Cipher will be out in early 2016.

SPEAKER: ELLIOT SNEEZY
Early in Elliot’s career as a law enforcement he was nearly killed by a juvenile gang member on the Reservation. After the juvenile was arrested no gang law existed on the reservation that would help in bringing him to justice. The juvenile was released and never faced prosecution. This began Elliot’s passion for educating and empowering those affected by gangs, drugs, and other issues. Elliot is currently a Sergeant at Maricopa Police Department and has worked several positions throughout his career: Patrol Officer, Detective, Bicycle Officer, Youth & Gang Officer, and SWAT. He is a General Instructor, physical fitness instructor, firearms instructor, and rifle instructor for law enforcement.
Elliot helped create a gang unit for the San Carlos Tribal Police Department. Elliot is a founding member of the Indian Country Gang Summit in Arizona established in 2004. The yearly summit was established to bring training and education to Indian Country. From 2004 to 2007 Elliot formed the Rural Area Gang Seminar (R.A.G.S.) for the Tri-City Gang Prevention Task Force in Yavapai County, Arizona to develop training for smaller law enforcement agencies in rural areas. Elliot is a founding member of the Arizona Gang Investigators Association (AZGIA) established in 2006. He held the first Secretary seat for the association. AZGIA provides training to law enforcement officials nationwide. Elliot is the founder of, Education and Empowerment Trainings LLC which was created to help everyone with enforcement, prevention, intervention, personal goals, and family development.

AUTHOR THE REAL FREEWAY RICK ROSS WILL BE SPEAKING AND HAVING A BOOK SIGNING AT OUR EVENT SEPT 6,2014 THE REAL Freeway Rick Ross
A notorious drug kingpin reigning over Los Angeles, California and operating across numerous other
states, Rick was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1996. But following the discovery his drug source was
linked to the CIA and he had been used as a pawn in the Iran-Contra scandal, he received a reduced
sentence. Rick is the Author of his new book with co-writer and bestselling true crime writer Cathy Scott,
who is the author of The Killing of Tupac Shakur and The Murder of Biggie Smalls among many other
books.
Rick was illiterate and was in prison when he learned to read. He took what he learned in prison, got out
and used it to help other people Rick says, “The way I look at it is if they have all the information they
need to make good decisions, then they'll make the right decision. I tell them, 'If you're going to sell
drugs, be prepared to go to prison or possibly get killed. When you go to prison, your girlfriend and your
friends will no longer be there for you. You will be alone. People end up with 30 years and life sentences
for drug offenses. I tell them, 'Keep in mind that that may be the future for you, that you might kill
somebody or they'll kill you.' Students have overwhelmingly accepted my message. I go out and speak to
these kids because I want to, because it's beneficial for us to teach our kids how to be critical thinkers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGqytc7mbxk&feature=youtu.be http://www.scpr.org/programs/take-two/2014/07/08/38202/the-untold-s... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=agthLEi...

Dating violence is a widespread issue that had serious
long-term and short-term effects. Many teens do not
report it because they are afraid to tell friends and family.
• Among adult victims of rape, physical violence, and/
or stalking by an intimate partner, 22% of women and
15% of men first experienced some form of partner
violence between 11 and 17 years of age.1
Dating violence can have a negative effect on health
throughout life. Youth who are victims are more likely
to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety,
engage in unhealthy behaviors, like using tobacco,
drugs, and alcohol, or exhibit antisocial behaviors
and think about suicide.3,4,5 Youth who are victims of
dating violence in high school are at higher risk for
victimization during college. STAND UP ARIZONA 9/6/14
