Per celebrare questo giorno:
"Pledge of Resistance"
We believe
that as people living in the United States
it is our responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government,
in our names
Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions of blood for oil
Not in our name
will you invade countries
bomb civilians,
kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless
Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for
Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families on foreign soil
Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us
Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil
Not by our will and Not in our name
We pledge resistance
We pledge alliance
with those who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity
We pledge to make common cause
with the
people of the world to bring about justice, freedom and peace
Another world is possible and we pledge to make it real.
" Not In Our Name" is one of the main opposition groups born in the U.S. in reaction to the policy after 11 settemre. On the first page are the names of Noam Chomsky, Laurie Anderson, Robert Altmann, Patch Adams, Zack De La Rocha.
The Pledge of Resistance has become the anthem of Not In Our Name. It was written and recited by Saul Williams, a young poet, hip hop musician and actor. It reflects a more deliberate commitment rooted in the soul statunitense - il Pledge Of Alliance , la promessa di fedeltà alla bandiera insegnata in tutte le scuole - riformulandolo radicalmente.
