Not in my name

I believe that, as a citizen of the United States, it is my responsibility to resist the injustices done by my government in my name.

Not in my name will you wage endless war. There can be no more deaths, no more transfusions of blood for oil.

Not in my name will you invade countries, bomb civilians, kill children and the wounded and helpless.

Not in my name will you erode the very freedoms you have claimed to fight for, at home and abroad.

Not in my name will you annihilate families and societies on foreign soil.

Not in my name will you deem whole peoples and countries evil.

Not by my will and not in my name.

I pledge to resist the belief that war is necessary. I pledge alliance with those who come under attack for voicing opposition to this war.

I pledge alliance with those who have come under attack for voicing opposition due to their religion or ethnicity.

I pledge to make common cause with the people of the world against the forces of oppression whether they reside in the United States or abroad, so that we may together bring about justice, freedom and peace.

Another world is possible, and I pledge to help make it real.
