I recognise the reality of racism on the internet and the threat it poses to

the cultural diversity and decency that has made this internet great.

I pledge to take personal responsibility for racism in myself and in those

around me. I will identify and confront racism everywhere and every time I see

it.

I call on you, as our internets leader, to make a clear statement recognising

the reality of racism in our internet and to pledge to take personal

responsibility for confronting it, as I am doing today.

Internet multiculturalism is a work in progress, and it certainly isnt perfect.

But with hard work, patience and dignity we have worked together to advance the

internet. Now is a critical moment for each of us to publicly recommit to that

process. Please forward this pledge to all your friends, co-workers and family.

Thanks for being part of this.
