SACRED PLEDGE

REFLECT.

I PLEDGE TO KEEP MY HEART OPEN.

I will resist disregard with thoughtfulness.

I will develop a racial self awareness. I will check my own racial biases and internalized oppression. I will be aware of overt and subtle forms of racism. I will interrupt harmful behaviors.

LEARN.

I PLEDGE TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE.

I will resist ignorance with understanding.

I will educate myself about racial justice. I will seek opportunities to understand myself and systems of oppression. I will keep my mind open for opportunities to grow as a person. I will learn how I can do my part.

SUPPORT.

I PLEDGE TO LEND A HAND.

I will resist scarcity with generosity.

I will be compassionate and charitable. I will bolster others who promote racial equality.

ENGAGE.

I PLEDGE TO CARE.

I will resist apathy with concern.

I will be fully present. I will participate in creating caring communities. I will defend the most targeted amongst us and show up to protect their rights. I will engage in bystander anti-racism.

COMMIT.

I PLEDGE TO REFLECT, LEARN, ENGAGE, AND SUPPORT.

I will resist uncertainty with resolve.

My #SacredPledge is to join MuslimARC in their efforts to #ResistRacism.

Let us build a more just multifaith multiracial society - one where everyone is equal, welcome, and safe.
