Join the growing movement of leaders and citizens who are committed to respectful discourse.
As an ally to candidates and elected officials, and an advocate for democracy, I pledge to:
• Treat elected officials and each other with respect in all spaces—public, private, and online.
• Reject harassment, abuse, and personal attacks, and speak out when I witness them.
• Focus debate and political discussions on ideas and policies, not personal attacks.
• Help build a supportive culture where people of all backgrounds feel safe to run for and hold office, and engage in public life.
• Call on relevant authorities for the protection of elected officials who face abuse or threats.
• Model integrity and respect in public life, holding myself to the highest standards of conduct, and vote for leaders who model integrity and respect in public life, holding them to the highest standard of conduct.
