Be Love - Activity

BELOVEisagrowingmovementofcourageous actstoachievejustice.

BE LOVE is a movement which aims to help society answer three critical questions facing humanity:

Who must we be?

What must we do?

The King Center is leading the way to answer these questions.

What are we to accomplish?

Their work is grounded in the iconic words of Dr. Martin Luther King:

“Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice."

We can only achieve the Beloved Community by working every day to put it into practice.

It is not enough to learn it; We must live it.

So... Pledge to BE LOVE.

If you want to take the first step to be a part of the BeLoved community you need to read carefully the following statement, copy it once on a different page, understand it well and head to the King Center website to sign this declaration!

Here is the statement of the BeLoved Community of "The King Center":

I acknowledge three things:

( 1 )

The violence, oppression, inequity, injustice, and hate in our world has to stop.

( 2 )

“Let us live together in peace and love in a Beloved Community.”

I have a responsibility and role to play in creating social change for a more just, humane, equitable, and peaceful world.

( 3 )

The decision is mine whether to do nothing in this moment, or to have the courage to stand up for justice.

And I have made my decision.

Starting today, I make a personal choice to BE LOVE.

I pledge to allow love to drive my thoughts, words, decisions, and actions, and honor the humanity of every individual.

I pledge to speak the truth to power in love.

I pledge to focus on defeating injustice and not destroying the person. I pledge to support leaders who demonstrate a love for humanity.

I pledge to promote unity and refuse to perpetuate or magnify division.

“Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” https://thekingcenter.org/belove/

I pledge to demonstrate a life of courage, care, and compassion as I boldly confront anything that stands in opposition to love.

By signing this pledge, I’m helping to create what Dr. Martin Luther King called The Beloved Community.
