The First Stone Pledge

I am a Black American man, and I am ready to build.

I pledge to prepare, with my brothers, to relocate within five years and help lay the foundation of new communities abroad.

I call on the governments of Benin, Sierra Leone, and every nation that welcomes the African diaspora to open clear, affordable, and fair pathways to citizenship for the men of First Stone and their sons.

I commit to going with skills, with a plan, and with respect for the people and laws of the nation that receives us.

I lay my stone.
