PLEDGE
OF RESISTANCE
Join with thousands nationwide to take this
pledge of
resistance.
As people living in the United States,
we believe
it is our responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government in our name.
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've 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 hands
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.
