Freedom Pledge
Humanity is at a critical juncture because collectively we have failed to grasp the significance of the events
unfolding around us and to respond appropriately.
There is little argument that governments globally are exceeding their delegated authority.
To permit this unfettered abuse of power is to risk losing the natural rights and freedoms that is the
heritage of all people and the foundation of free and just societies.
History shows that humanity has often been exploited by the machinations of tyrants, opportunists,
oligarchs, and oppressors.
History further reveals that rights and freedoms are never returned willingly. Rather, it is the oppressed
themselves who ultimately reclaim and preserve human rights that benefit humanity.
One of the consequences of tyranny is that we individually and collectively affirm what we are willing to
accept from those to whom we delegate power. Tyranny also clarifies what we are willing to fight for and
perhaps even die for.
It is the duty of every human to ensure that fundamental human rights are upheld. The consequence of
failing to stand up and curtail tyranny is to risk losing all that we hold precious and to condemn future
generations to lives of servitude.
In all of the above, I pledge to stand with all those in the freedom community in resistance to oppression.
Before my Creator, my family and my community, I declare:
• I will rise up, speak up and disobey harmful and tyrannical orders, whether they come
from a domestic or foreign entity.
• I will stand in my power and authority and reclaim my innate rights and what has been
unlawfully and immorally taken from me, my family and my community.
• I will resist any attempt, by government or otherwise, to divide people or communites
from each other, or to subjugate any people to discriminate�on or harassment based on
ethnicity, faith, bodily autonomy, or freedom of choice.
• If the enemies of freedom come for anyone’s children, my neighbors, my community, or
my naton, I will resist.
I will not surrender my rights, nor those of my children and community.
