Be Love Pledge

(1)
The violence, oppression, inequity, injustice, and hate in our world has to stop.

(2)
I have a responsibility and role to play in creating social change,
for a more just, humane, equitable, and peaceful world.

(3)
The decision is mine whether to do nothing in this moment,
or to have the courage to stand up for justice.

And I have made my decision.

Starting today, I make a personal choice to BE LOVE.

I pledge to allow love to drive my thoughts, words, decisions, and actions,
and honor the humanity of every individual.

I pledge to speak the truth to power in love.
I pledge to focus on defeating injustice and not destroying the person.
I pledge to support leaders who demonstrate a love for humanity.

I pledge to promote unity and refuse to perpetuate or magnify division.

I pledge to demonstrate a life of courage, care, and compassion,
as I boldly confront anything that stands in opposition to love.

By taking this pledge, I’m helping to create what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called,
The Beloved Community.
