It Starts With Us. The IAM Pledge.

Our communities thrive when we hold ourselves—and each other—accountable. That’s the heart of our digital platforms: to create safe, supportive spaces where every resident commits to something greater. By taking the IAM Pledge, you’re making a personal vow to report violent crimes, protect your neighborhood, and use your voice to uplift others.

But safety is only part of the mission. These platforms are also a lifeline—for those facing silent battles. Through mental health awareness and access to supportive tools, we’re breaking the stigma, starting real conversations, and building a culture of compassion.

Together, we can create communities that are not only connected—but courageous, informed, and deeply human. This is your platform. This is your pledge. IAM.

The IAM Pledge

A Commitment to Community, Safety & Mental Wellness
  • I pledge to report violent crimes in my community.
  • I pledge to stand up, speak out, and protect those around me.
  • I pledge to use my voice to break the silence around mental health.
  • I pledge to listen, support, and build up those who are struggling.
  • I pledge to hold myself accountable—because healing starts with honesty.
  • I pledge to be part of the solution, not the silence.
