Resolution of Respect<br />

I pledge from this day forward <strong>to</strong> do my best <strong>to</strong> combat prejudice and <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p those who, because of<br />

hate or ignorance, would hurt people or violate their civil rights. I will try at all times <strong>to</strong> be aware of<br />

my own biases and seek <strong>to</strong> gain understanding of those I perceive as being different from myself.<br />

I will speak out against all forms of prejudice and discrimination. I will reach out <strong>to</strong> support those<br />

who are targets of hate. I will think about specific ways my community members can promote<br />

respect for people and create a prejudice-free zone. I firmly believe that one person can make a<br />

difference and that no person can be an “innocent” bystander when it comes <strong>to</strong> opposing hate.<br />

I recognize that respecting individual dignity, achieving equality and promoting intergroup harmony<br />

are the responsibilities of all people. By signing this pledge, I commit myself <strong>to</strong> creating a community<br />

that is No Place for <strong>Hate</strong>®.<br />
