On January 20th, 2017, hundreds joined with New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia to take The People’s Oath in a promise to defend each other and work for a world of justice, love, and dignity. This is a moment to transform the anger, the fear, and the sadness into active hope, fierce love, and strategic action.


THE PEOPLE'S OATH

We the people faithfully promise to protect and defend one another, especially our targeted communities: Muslim, Black, Immigrant, Poor, LGBTQAI, Disabled, Women, Workers, Children and anyone under attack.

We the people faithfully promise to protect and defend one another.

We the people faithfully promise to struggle in solidarity and resist fascism, racism, xenophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, capitalism and all the illnesses in our society that keep us from fulfilling our humanity together.

We the people faithfully promise to struggle in solidarity and resist.

We the people faithfully promise to fight for water, healthcare, shelter, education, the integrity of Mother Earth, true safety and every human need for all.

We the people faithfully promise to fight.

We the people faithfully promise to listen, educate ourselves and our communities, and act with bold love and compassion alongside one another toward healing and justice.

We the people faithfully promise to act with bold love and compassion.

We the people faithfully promise to build a Sanctuary within ourselves, in our city, and in our countries in order to build a world that is just for all.

We the people faithfully promise to build a world that is just for all.
