A Pledge For Humanity

In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
— Thurgood Marshall

As one hopeful member of the human race, I promise to make every reasonable effort to live up to these words each day.

Accordingly, I pledge:

  • To treat every human being with respect for their inherent value – even when I disagree with their actions, words or beliefs.

  • To look beyond myself, striving toward a humanity where each human being feels equally valuable.

  • To understand that this effort benefits me by strengthening my own self-worth and forging a higher purpose for my daily life.
