The Pledge was born out of a moment of crisis. After the terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023, over 100 local leaders from diverse backgrounds—spanning education, religion, government, and the corporate sector—came together to affirm their commitment to a united Central Florida. They co-authored The Pledge as a way to take a stand against all forms of prejudice and bigotry so that no group feels unsafe or marginalized.
