Rather, it is the oppressed<br>themselves who ultimately reclaim and preserve human rights that benefit humanity.<br>One of the consequences of tyranny is that we individually and collectively affirm what we are willing to<br>accept from those to whom we delegate power. Tyranny also clarifies what we are willing to fight for and<br>perhaps even die for.<br>It is the duty of every human to ensure that fundamental human rights are upheld. The consequence of<br>failing to stand up and curtail tyranny is to risk losing all that we hold precious and to condemn future<br>generations to lives of servitude.<br>In all of the above, I pledge to stand with all those in the freedom community in resistance to oppression.<br>Before my Creator, my family and my community, I declare:<br>\u2022 I will rise up, speak up and disobey harmful and tyrannical orders, whether they come<br>from a domestic or foreign entity.<br>\u2022 I will stand in my power and authority and reclaim my innate rights and what has been<br>unlawfully and immorally taken from me, my family and my community.<br>\u2022 I will resist any attempt, by government or otherwise, to divide people or communites<br>from each other, or to subjugate any people to discriminate\ufffdon or harassment based on<br>ethnicity, faith, bodily autonomy, or freedom of choice.<br>\u2022 If the enemies of freedom come for anyone\u2019s children, my neighbors, my community, or<br>my naton, I will resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will not surrender my rights, nor those of my children and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>(signature) (date)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEANT-TO-BE-GLORRIOUS-AND-FREE-SIGN-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEANT-TO-BE-GLORRIOUS-AND-FREE-SIGN-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEANT-TO-BE-GLORRIOUS-AND-FREE-SIGN-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEANT-TO-BE-GLORRIOUS-AND-FREE-SIGN-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEANT-TO-BE-GLORRIOUS-AND-FREE-SIGN-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEANT-TO-BE-GLORRIOUS-AND-FREE-SIGN-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEANT-TO-BE-GLORRIOUS-AND-FREE-SIGN-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freedom PledgeHumanity is at a critical juncture because collectively we have failed to grasp the significance of the eventsunfolding around us and to respond appropriately.There is little argument that governments globally are exceeding their delegated authority.To permit this unfettered abuse &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/?p=9072\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[5117],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9072"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9072"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9072\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9074,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9072\/revisions\/9074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
