The Pledge

All men are brothers. Freedom is our common heritage, and fascism our common enemy. Those who would destroy us seek first to defeat us by setting Gentile against Jew, white against Negro, faith against faith. But the unity of free peoples cannot be broken.

In the name of democracy and our faith in the new world born out of the most tragic of wars, we pledge ourselves to challenge, fight, and defeat fascism in all forms.

I hereby join hands with the youth of the world, in its fight against fascism and bigotry, and by so doing, declare myself a Challenger.
