==="Pledge of Resistance"=== The Pledge is written by [[Starhawk]] and [[Saul Williams]], in the style of [[free verse]], beginning: <blockquote> We believe that as people living <br /> in the United States it is our <br /> responsibility to resist the injustices <br /> done by our government, <br /> in our names <br /> <br /> Not in our name <br /> will you wage endless war <br /> </blockquote> and concluding <blockquote> Another world is possible <br /> and we pledge to make it real. </blockquote> The pledge opposes what it characterizes as "endless [[war]]", "[[Blood transfusion|transfusions]] of [[blood]] for [[Petroleum|oil]]", invasions of foreign countries, bombing [[civilian]]s, and killing children. It goes on, "Not in our name / will you erode the very freedoms / you have claimed to fight for." It implicitly accuses the [[George W. Bush|Bush administration]] of deeming "whole [[nation|peoples]] or [[country|countries]]" as "[[evil]]" and pledges, among other things, "...alliance with those/ who have come under attack / for voicing opposition to the war / or for their religion or ethnicity." The ''[[Not in My Name]]'' EP was released in May 2003 by Saul Williams with assistance from [[DJ Spooky]], DJ Goo and [[Coldcut]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/not-in-my-name-mw0000031222|title=Saul Williams - Not in My Name|date=May 20, 2003|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|accessdate=7 January 2013}}</ref>
