LOUISVILLE PEACE ACTION COMMUNITY’S
PEACE PLEDGE
FOR DEMONSTRATION PARTICIPANTS
I pledge to be a peaceful participant in actions and events sponsored by the Louisville Peace Action Community, including the following commitments.
If I witness other peace participants acting in a way that is contrary to this pledge, I will engage them in dialogue to help clarify for them our purpose in this event.
Regardless of the provocation, I will not respond in kind to aggression or violence directed toward me or our gathering. I will instead maintain an attitude of peaceful encounter and if needed, notify the nearest peacekeeper or police officer.
