Overview
- Filmmaker Michael Moore unveiled his alternative Pledge of Allegiance on June 2, shifting focus from national symbols to phrases like “one person, one vote” and global solidarity.
- The rewritten pledge replaces traditional language about the flag and republic with lines such as “a seat at the table” and “a slice of the pie” to highlight inclusion.
- In his Substack post, Moore urged supporters to incorporate at least one simple political task—such as emailing a lawmaker or creating a rally sign—into their everyday routines.
- Conservative voices including Fox News commentator Joe Concha labeled the proposal a desperate ploy for attention and criticized its removal of ’under God.’
- The pledge forms part of Moore’s broader activism campaign against President Trump’s policies, following his recent Substack posts on immigration, gun control and foreign affairs.
