About the Not in Our Name Project
In March 2002, individuals from different organizations, backgrounds, communities and political perspectives met together at St. Mary's Church in Harlem, NYC, to discuss what was needed to build resistance to the U.S. government's "war on terrorism" launched in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. The group recognized that the government was embarking on a new openly imperial policy towards the world and a dangerous escalation in the curtailment of rights domestically. The Not in Our Name Pledge of Resistance and Statement of Conscience-Not in Our Name are the two living documents that were developed from the March 2002 meeting and express the essence of the Not in Our Name Project. Participation is open to individuals and
organizations that adopt the Pledge and participate in Not in Our Name-initiated and supported events and campaigns.

Here is our answer; We refuse to allow you to speak for all the American People... We refuse to be party to these wars and we repudiate any inference that they are being waged in our name or welfare. We extend a hand to those around the world suffering from these policies; we will show our solidarity in word and deed.
