This pledge is based on the promise to reduce stigmatization in your community. Although its focus is primarily on patients with HIV/AIDS, this pledge extends to patients of other diseases and anyone mistreated by their community.
Fight the stigma.
"By signing this pledge, I agree to be aware of this stigma in my own life and strive for its reduction. I will not stigmatize."

The stories shared in the discussion section remind me that this work is deeply personal for many of you. I am currently reaching out to local health organizations to discuss how we might turn these signatures into a formal outreach program.

Seeing this pledge grow suggests a profound desire for more compassionate communities. It is encouraging to witness so many people committing to quiet, daily acts of empathy.

I believe the disease of prejudice has the potential to be eradicated, but only through the efforts of people such as Kenna, Matthew, and Nathaniel.
