The Non-Violent Pledge
A public commitment to nonviolence, self-respect, and protecting the Earth, one person and one promise at a time.
Take the pledge
I pledge to treat myself and others with respect, to reject violence in my words and my actions, and to build a home, a family, and a community rooted in safety and dignity.
I pledge to protect this Earth as I protect my own body, understanding that how we care for the world around us reflects how we care for each other. Together, one person and one promise at a time, we can create a future free from fear.
Standing behind the pledge
Our commitment to nonviolence, self-respect, and protecting the Earth has been championed by respected community leaders, including former San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and NFL veteran Martin Bayless. Together, we are working to create safer, stronger, and more vibrant communities.
