We are IN-dividuals who are IN-formed, IN-spired, and IN-volved leaders, activists, and organizations. We have chosen to stand up to overcome the sad remnants of discrimination, repression, and loss of our rights. Our mission is to cash the check signed by America’s founders to achieve the ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity for every resident of Palm Beach County. We are committed to honor America’s self-declared pledge of LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Our approach is is positive and supportive. We welcome all likeminded individuals and organizations from every aspect of our society.
Here’s your personal Pledge. If the words touch you click the “I’M IN – I MADE THE PLEDGE” button.
With that simple act you will make a promise to yourself that you will join with others of goodwill in Palm Beach County to finally fulfill America’s pledge. This is an opportunity for you to think globally and act locally.
As a partner with thousands of other other individuals in the IN-CROWD, we will send you periodic non-partisan e-mails that will keep you IN-formed, IN-spired, and IN-volved in the growing worldwide movement to create opportunity and equality for all people.
The information you receive will be unique and refreshing in that we will never ask you for money, nor ever promote a particular political party or candidate. However, we will:
- Provide information about the issues to help you determine who is on your side.
- Our affirmative program program will inspire you to keep your spirits up and fight for what you believe.
- Significantly, we will awaken you to specific programs and projects that are going on in the county that work to provide opportunity and justice for all. When you’re ready to take action you will have a varied menu of programs and projects to get involved with.
With that information you can get IN-volved in the growing Movement in whatever way works for you. You can even start your own project and find likeminded partners to join you.
The first action step is the November election. Every candidate in the county will be asked to also sign a Candidates Pledge. We will publish their responses so whatever your position on the political spectrum you will know which candidates are on your side.
The IN-CROWD is working before as well as on the other side of the election to honor and fulfill America’s pledge. November is an important milestone to select likeminded leaders. Thereafter they will need to be accountable to honor their Pledges. You will be ready to help them do so.
