This Oath comes from the heart and soul, of our hands in the sands and soil of the land, in the strength of community and unity, in the fight for freedom, justice and long-standing empowerment of the people. The people, land and culture are inextricably intertwined, we are one. Our People first, Barbuda Land forever. One Love.   

Special thanks and love is extended to the following families, patriots and friends of Barbuda who have helped formulate, through many revisions and months, a true pledge for our Beloved Barbuda.
