Alexis Mazon, Attorney at the Youth Law Center in S.F., gave passersby copies of “the Green Arm Band Pledge” to alert people to the purpose of the green armbands they’ve been seeing around campus - Sproul Plaza, U.C. Berkeley, CA USA

--------------------------------------------

National Green Arm Band Campaign

The Green Arm Band Pledge:

I oppose scapegoating - I stand in solidarity with Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern people.

I will speak out against scapegoating and offer to escort and come to the aid of any Arab, Muslim or Middle Eastern person facing racist harassment or attacks.

*This pledge of solidarity and aid is also extended to those facing racist harassment or attacks because they are (incorrectly) perceived to be an Arab, Muslim or Middle Eastern person.
