Our Vision
is the Beloved Community where all neighbors thrive.
Our Mission is to engage neighbors to practice radical love and build Dr. King's vision of the Beloved Community
Our Values are rooted in Dr. King's principles of nonviolence:
• Leadership and Impact - Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It is aggressive spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.
• Relationships and Belonging - Nonviolence seeks friendship and understanding with the end goal of redemption and reconciliation to build the Beloved Community in this place.
• Equality and Equity - Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice and not people by considering the perspectives of all people and seeking to right wrongs.
• Resilience and Innovation - Nonviolence believes that unearned, voluntary suffering for a just cause is redemptive. From our hardships we can engage and educate everyone without retaliating.
• Integrity and Community - Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate and resists internal violence of the spirit as well as physical violence of the body. Nonviolence avoids bitterness and hate through spontaneous, unmotivated, unselfish, and creative love.
• Justice and Opportunity - Nonviolence knows that the universe is on the side of justice. Hope prevails that every human being, even our opponents, can change.
