A Pledge

Day 202

I signed a pledge today on line to commit myself to do “whatever I can to ensure that each and every person in my community is treated with dignity and respect.” It is being circulated by Jewish community organizations in response to the recent suicides by gay teenagers. Not so much an act of kindness, but a commitment to kindness in the face of bullying and intolerance. Thank you to my friend N for making me aware of the opportunity to feel like I am doing something, however small, in the face of such tragedy.
