The i-word, “illegals,” creates an environment of hate by exploiting racial fear and economic anxiety, creating an easy scapegoat for complex issues, and OK-ing violence against those labeled with the word.

By taking this pledge, you are committing to eliminate the racially derogatory term, “illegals,” from use within the church, popular usage and public discourse and for choosing instead to use language that affirms the inherent worth of all people in the eyes of God.

I Pledge to Drop the I-Word

and I ask church and secular media to do the same!
