 FAQs

  • The Central Florida Pledge is a growing network, uniting neighbors, leaders, and organizations across all backgrounds to stand up for a safer, more welcoming community. By signing the Pledge, people commit to treating others with dignity, standing against hate, and stepping up when needed—building a region where everyone feels they belong.

    It reads:

    • I WILL lead by example, treating all people with dignity and respect, especially those with whom I disagree

    • I WILL refrain from inflammatory words and actions, and actively support those being attacked

    • I WILL report threatening incidents of hate and violence to 800-423-TIPS (8477)

    • I WILL educate myself about all forms of discrimination, including antisemitism, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism, and help others in my circle of influence to do the same

  • 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.

  • Anyone who calls Central Florida home. Individuals, families, students, business leaders (for-profit and non-profit).

    If you care about making this a better place for everyone, this is for you!

  • You’ll be part of a growing network. You’ll get select updates, stories, and community alerts.

  • No! This is NOT political, it’s personal. The Pledge brings people together around shared values of dignity and respect.

  • You are! The Central Florida Pledge is powered by a diverse network of community leaders, nonprofits, religious groups, businesses, and everyday residents. It’s not led by a single organization—it’s a grassroots network fueled by people like you.

  • The Pledge Community Seal is a visible commitment to being an active part of The Central Florida Pledge Network. It tells customers and employees: “This is a place where everyone is valued and respected.” Businesses and nonprofit organizations who display the Seal are recognized as trusted community leaders—those who live the values of the Central Florida Pledge, not just talk about them.
