Our Values

Environmental Stewardship

Clean air, safe drinking water, healthy farmlands, forests and public health are human rights.

True Representation

Local government must reflect the informed will, interests, goals and long-term wellbeing of the people it serves over priorities of corporations, businesses, political insiders or unelected networks of influence.

Transparency & Accountability

Decisions that affect communities should be made openly, with meaningful opportunities for residents to participate in the democratic process. An informed and engaged public is essential to democracy.

Mission and Vision

Sustain SJ advocates for environmental stewardship, responsible development and local government that works for the people it represents by encouraging citizen involvement and mobilization through information, engagement and civic activism. Sustain SJ works to facilitate the deliberate action and participation of private citizens, driven by personal conviction and community concerns, in efforts to improve, influence and advocate for change within South Jersey.
