I Am NVP

(What if peace didn't

start somewhere far away?

What if it started… here?)

To the ones who show up when the world looks away To

the hands that bring beauty to the broken and afraid You cut

the hair, you paint the nails,

you hold the silent tears You remind a wounded woman that she's

still worthy of care To the shelter ladies,

the volunteers, the ones who stay

Thank you for showing up

every single day

We are not alone in this

Every hand becomes a bridge Every heart that chooses love Is a

light that lifts us up

I pledge to be nonviolent

I pledge to respect my body

I pledge to protect the earth

I am NVP

I pledge to be nonviolent I pledge to respect my body

I pledge to protect the earth

I am NVP

To the ones who tell the story when the cameras turn away

To the musicians who lend their voice to give the voiceless strength

You feed the body,

feed the soul, you fill an empty plate You share the song,

you spread the word,

you make the burden light To the

media, the musicians, the ones who give their time

Thank you for standing with us on the front line

We are not alone in this

Every hand becomes a bridge

Every heart that chooses love Is a light that lifts us up

I pledge to be

nonviolent

I pledge to respect my body

I pledge to protect the earth

I am NVP

I pledge to be nonviolent I pledge to respect my body

I pledge to protect the earth

I am NVP

To the ones who use their platform to shine a brighter light

To the faces on the screen who say "I'll stand and I

will fight"

You didn't have to show up,

but you chose to lend your name You turned your spotlight into

hope and helped us share the flame To the celebrities,

the influencers, the ones who lead the way

Thank you for using your voice to help us say…

(Leader:) "Who's got your back?" (All:) "WE DO!" (Leader:) "Who's gonna stand?"

(All:) "WE DO!" (Leader:) "Who's gonna love?" (All:) "WE DO!" (Leader:) "Who's

gonna pledge?" (All:) "WE DO!

WE DO! WE DO!"

They said peace is a dream,

but I seen it in this room Every color,

every language, every heart that's in bloom From the shelters to the

stadiums, from the streets to the stage We are writing a new

story on a brand new page So to everyone who helped us,

every single name We may never say it perfect,

but we'll say it just the same: THANK YOU.

For the food, the time,

the love, the light For showing up for women in the middle

of the night This ain't the end,

it's the beginning of a worldwide sound I Am NVP — and

we're never backing down

I pledge to be nonviolent

I pledge to respect my body

I pledge to protect the earth

I am NVP

I pledge to be nonviolent

I pledge to respect my body

I pledge to protect the earth

I am NVP

I am NVP

I am NVP
