New Hope & Solebury are highly desirable places to live because our community embodies Democratic principles and our Values (see below).
MISSION
Educate, energize, and mobilize New Hope and Solebury residents to elect Democratic Party candidates who share our values to all levels of government, with a particular focus on local races.
values
We believe and support democracy, the constitutions of the U.S. and Pennsylvania, and the rule of law.
We believe in dignity and respect for every human being.
We believe in equity and inclusion across our community and work to protect our rights free from discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender identity, age, ability, health status, national origin, immigration or citizenship status, or military service. We support equitable access for all to public services, basic human needs, civil rights, health care, education, justice, and economic opportunity.
We value the health and safety of our neighbors, public officials, our environment and our public institutions that are critical to serving the needs of our community.
We strive to encourage robust participation in the civic life of our community and support leaders who share our values and demonstrate empathy, integrity and character.
“The lessons of history call on us to speak against injustice to protect marginalized communities and ensure the horrors of the past aren’t repeated.”
