I, the undersigned, affirm the inherent dignity and worth of all people and the right of every child and adult to live free from slavery and involuntary servitude. I call upon world leaders to commit themselves to the abolition of slavery around the world. Let my name demonstrate my desire to see the emancipation of slaves and accountability for slave masters and others who benefit from the enslavement of people.
