We pledge to:

• Teach and practice self-defense to ensure the safety and dignity of all.

• Equip ourselves with survival skills to thrive in any condition or environment.

• Honor our history, celebrate our heritage, and learn from the past to guide our future.

• Master financial literacy and foster economic strength in our families and neighborhoods.

• Cultivate the land, grow our own food, and sustain our community with healthy practices.

• Know and exercise our rights, understanding the laws that govern us.

• Serve our community with compassion and purpose, fostering unity and mutual support.

• Engage in governance to amplify our voices and advocate for justice and equity.

• Protect our neighborhoods as safe havens for growth, fellowship, and opportunity.
