Can you sign the pledge?

This pledge is for people who work in the US tech industry. This doesn't mean you have to be a programmer; anyone who is a tech worker by profession, either in the US or working at a US-based organization, can sign. This includes students planning on going into tech fields, self-employed people, and owners of US-based businesses.

Signing by Twitter login

If you have a Twitter account, the best way to sign the pledge is to use sign.neveragain.tech.

Signing by pull request

If you don't have a Twitter account but you do have a GitHub account, please submit a pull request:

1. Go to the _signatures folder.
2. Click the "Create new file" button in the upper-right corner.
3. Name the file something unique, for example: first_name_last_name_affiliation.md. The filename must have .md at the end.
4. Copy the text of the template.md file and paste it in the newly created signature file from step 3.
5. Edit the file to fill in the fields exactly as you want them to be shown.
6. Commit the file and make a pull request.
7. In your pull request description, include a link to a publicly verified profile (e.g. Keybase or LinkedIn) or a personal website, that shows ownership of your GitHub account and establishes your role in your organization (if any).
8. If you are stating an organization, please mention in your pull request description the country in which the organization is based and a brief description of the organization. We ask for this just so we can confirm that it is a tech-related organization in the United States.
9. A volunteer will review and merge in your pull request.

In order to be accepted, your pull request must contain enough information for us to establish that the name and affiliation (if any) in the signature accurately represent the owner of the submitting GitHub account.
