Washington, D.C. – Individuals across the United States are signing a new pledge to take personal responsibility for protecting others as cities and states reopen despite widespread concerns about how to do so safely and responsibly during the COVID – 19 pandemic.
“The pledge functions to help people pause and think about how they will act in the context of our states and cities starting to reopen and what that means for themselves and the larger community,” stated Johnny Zokovitch, Executive Director of Pax Christi USA which designed and is promoting the pledge. “It also articulates the desire of the vast majority of the public to demonstrate consideration for how our actions affect others, how we are taking personal responsibility to protect friends and strangers and how we are prioritizing the common good, including making personal sacrifices.”
