We are further committed to protecting, ensuring, and achieving the promise that each one of us should have the ability to work, live and engage in a community that values and celebrates our unique differences, and enjoy the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Paley Rothman encourages you to take the pledge. To sign up, email racialjusticecouncil@gmail.com with the phrase:
