The Digital Citizen Pledge
A Solemn Commitment to Responsible Digital Citizenship
I, as a citizen of the digital age, hereby pledge and commit myself to upholding the highest standards of integrity, responsibility, and respect in all my online interactions. I recognize that my words and actions in digital spaces have real-world consequences, and I solemnly affirm the following principles:
- ✓I WILL THINK BEFORE I SHARE.
I will not spread information I haven't verified, recognizing that misinformation harms our society. - ✓I WILL TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT.
Even when I disagree, I will engage thoughtfully and with dignity. - ✓I WILL CHOOSE KINDNESS.
My words have power, and I will use them responsibly to build up, not tear down. - ✓I WILL STAND AGAINST HATE.
Silence is complicity. I will speak out against bigotry, racism, and injustice. - ✓I WILL BE PART OF MY COMMUNITY.
I will act in ways that strengthen our shared bonds and contribute to the common good.
I understand that this pledge represents not merely aspirational goals, but actionable commitments that I will strive to uphold in every digital interaction. By affirming these principles, I acknowledge my responsibility to help build a digital world characterized by truth, respect, and human dignity.
This pledge is my word, and my word is my bond.
