Today, February 20, 2002, they are coming first for the Palestinians, Pakistanis, Saudis, Jordanians, Egyptians, Afghanis, Yemenis, Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians.
But today, February 20, 2002, I pledge resistance to the disappearances, indefinite detentions, deportations, torture, and secret military tribunals.
I pledge resistance to the governmentÕs persecution of people based upon where they were born, the color of their skin, their immigration status, the language they speak, or the religion they practice.
I pledge resistance to the hateful racism and vigilante attacks that have been encouraged by the governmentÕs anti-immigrant hysteria.
I pledge to unite and work with as many people as possible from all backgrounds to find the ways to stop all of this now and in the future.
I pledge and commit myself to people here and around the world to work tirelessly, to unite with thousands, tens of thousand and ultimately millions, to stand up to whatever the government may throw at us, to do whatever is necessary, so that together, we can stop these and all attacks on Muslim, Arab, South Asian and all immigrants.
