We all know how often our society witnesses personal hostility or just a total indifference toward the feelings of others. The disrespect expressed so frequently on social media is one example. Our nation’s nasty political dialogue is another. Even on our highways, how many drivers today show little regard for their life and the lives of fellow motorists by staring at smartphones instead of the road ahead?
But you can do something about these problems — and more. At the Humanity Project we’re working every day toward a more equal and respectful world, especially through our programs that help reduce the inequality and disrespect so commonly suffered by the LGBTQ community as well as people of color and women. Why not join us … for free?
All you need to do is sign our new “Pledge For Humanity” here on this website. The process is simple and takes perhaps a minute of your time. Sign the Humanity Project “Pledge For Humanity.”
Here is what it says:
“A Pledge For Humanity
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.”
If you’re still reading this blog, you likely already agree with these inspiring ideas. What if everyone took this pledge — and tried to honor it? We would have a very different society, wouldn’t we?
We hope you’ll take the pledge right now, joining the Humanity Project campaign for “Equality For Each, Respect For All.” You’ll hear by email directly from our founder, who will offer a few simple suggestions for ways you can help us make this society a better place for everyone.
