It's so important. I hope everyone will spread the word about it and make it a place where pledge-takers can connect with each other and with those who want to support them. Also note that there are a number of similar interactive forums, for pledge-takers and pledge organizers, on Facebook; just search on "GPA" or "Graduation Pledge."
