Take The Pledge
"I
pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries remain in
Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation goes into
its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in Washington,
D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately following, for as
long as I can, with the intention of making it our Tahrir Square,
Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY resist the
corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza until our resources are
invested in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and
exploitation. We can do this together. We will be the beginning."
