Not In Our Name: The Pledge to Resist

We believe that as people living
in the United States it is our
responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government, in our names

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 have 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 hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed
as 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

Please send the pledge out to as many folks as you can.

In struggle,
Tanya

If we are to stop this war on the world we need millions in this
country to stand with the people of the world and say:
NOT IN OUR NAME!

There will be a candle light march and pledge ceremony in Berkeley on
June 6th at MLK Park, 6pm.

The Not In Our Name Project is also in the process of drafting a
Statement of Conscience. We have had great success taking it out to
prominents and getting people to sign on to it. Hopefully the draft will be
finished soon so it can be published far
and wide!

Also if you can set up a presentation for us to present the project
please let us know ASAP!
