THE PLEDGE
The pledge to resist:
We believe that as people living in the United States it is our responsibility to resist the injustices done by our government in our names
Not in our name will you wage endless war
There can be no more deaths
No more transfusions of blood for oil
Not in our name will you invade countries, bomb civilians, kill more children, letting history take its course over the graves of the nameless
Not in our name will you erode the very freedoms you have claimed to fight for
Not by our hands will we supply weapons and funding for the annihilation of families on foreign soil
Not by our mouths will we let fear silence us
Not by our hearts will we allow whole peoples or countries to be deemed evil
Not by our will and not in our name
We pledge resistance
We pledge alliance with those who have come under attack for voicing opposition to the war or for their religion or ethnicity
We pledge to make common cause with the people of the world to bring about justice, freedom and peace
Another world is possible and we pledge to make it real.
Saul Williams (Not in My Name EP, 2003)
