The Ali Compassion Pledge (SKILL Framework)

In honor of Muhammad Ali, I pledge to practice compassion rooted in courage, action, and justice. I commit to:

  • Self-Compassion: Caring for myself so I can better care for others, following Ali’s example of inner strength and resilience.
  • Kindness to Others: Embracing everyday opportunities for kindness, knowing that small acts can create ripples of change.
  • Including Everyone: Fighting injustice and standing with marginalized communities, just as Ali championed humanity.
  • Leading in My Community: Taking compassionate action locally, inspiring others to lead with empathy and courage.
  • Lifting the Nation and the World: Promoting compassion and justice nationally and globally, in the spirit of Ali’s humanitarian legacy.

It will take every one of us to make a difference. To start, we need 10,000 voices to help drive this movement. Sign the Ali Compassion Pledge today and help us amplify compassion research, reach local leaders, and bring the Muhammad Ali Index to more communities.

Let’s turn compassion into a daily practice and a powerful force for justice, healing, and unity.

Sign, share, and spread the message. Together, we can honor Muhammad Ali’s legacy and create a more compassionate future.

Compassion is more than a feeling; it’s a skill we can measure – a muscle we can strengthen. Commit to meeting hate head-on with compassion. It never failed Muhammad, and it won’t fail you.

Compassion is the deepest form of gratitude and the highest form of intelligence. Something I learned from my father by how he chose to live his life.

Compassion is doing something for someone who can never repay you and expecting nothing in return. Muhammad Ali was the embodiment of this principle and I follow humbly in his giant footsteps.

It starts with compassion for my self. Awareness has softened the harshness of my inner judge. I understand the origins of this liability and, extrapolating, know how much the world needs and can use love.
