2.  I believe in the family and the community, and in the community as a family and I will work to make this concept live.

3.  I believe in the community as more important than the individual.

4.  I believe in constant struggle for freedom to end oppression and build a better world.  I believe in collective struggle in fashioning victory in concert with my brothers and sisters.

5.  I believe that the fundamental reason our oppression continues is that we, as a people, lack the power to control our lives.

6.  I believe that the fundamental way to gain that power and end oppression is to build a sovereign black nation.

7.  I believe that all the land in America, upon which we have lived for a long time, which we have worked and built upon and which we have fought to stay on, is land that belongs to us as a people.

8.  I believe in the Malcolm X Doctrine:  that we must organize upon this land and hold a plebiscite to tell the world by a vote that we are free and our land independent and that, after the vote, we must stand ready to defend ourselves establishing the nation beyond contradiction.

9.  Therefore, I pledge to struggle without cease until we have won sovereignty.  I pledge to struggle without fail until we have built a better condition that man has yet known.

10.  I will give my life if that is necessary.  I will give my time, my mind, my strength and my wealth because this IS necessary.

11.  I will follow my chosen leaders and help them.

12.  I will love my brothers and sisters as myself.

13.  I will steal nothing from a brother or sister, cheat no brother or sister, misuse no brother or sister, inform on no brother or sister and spread no gossip.
