Why Pledge?
Without solidarity, acknowledgement and honor – stigma, silence and denial remain. By taking the pledge each year, you are committing to: publicly show your support for prevention of law enforcement suicide; support for the officers who are suffering and; honoring the memory of those we have lost. Anyone can pledge, you don’t have to be an officer; you simply need to be committed to eradicating the stigma.

I, Deliris Montanez, Founder and President of Dance for Dreams, am committed and dedicated to exhaust all my efforts to empower, educate and teach our Sun City by sharing information and programs to destroy the stigma our community has mental health topics. As a 29 year old armed service veteran and 23+ years in LE, I recognize the need and value of educating others to save one life at a time. #elpasostrong
