Pledge of Resistance

The Pledge of Resistance refers to a commitment by individuals or groups to actively oppose or resist certain government actions or policies that they believe are unjust or harmful. This can involve nonviolent protests, civil disobedience, or other forms of activism. It emerged notably during conflicts like the U.S. opposition to the Central American interventions in the 1980s. Participants pledge to take action, often emphasizing principles of social justice, human rights, and democratic values, while seeking to raise awareness and effect change within their communities or society at large.
