We believe the goals in our mission statement are achievable.

We, a group of people of diverse backgrounds and various walks of life, commit ourselves to forming in Oakland and Franklin Lakes, the "Beloved Community."  In the tradition of Martin Luther King Jr., we seek to establish a community in which all people are treated equally without regard to their age, creed, economic status, gender, race or sexual orientation; a community wherein everyone's beliefs and feelings, differences and similarities are respected; a community whose neighbors and generations help and support one another."
