Our Vision
PROPEL Pequannock is a community joined in solidarity to advocate for social justice. We hope to create a more welcoming environment for all those who are marginalized, and to teach our children to value truth, equity, diversity, and inclusion. As Pequannock Residents of Pride, Equity, and Leadership (PROPEL) we welcome all supporting voices without regard to township residency.
Our Mission
PROPEL Pequannock will communicate respectfully and honestly to promote a more welcoming environment for all races, genders, religions, and sexual orientations.
Through our annual outdoor PrideFest events we will actively promote a "beautiful day of kindness," while educating the community in racial, gender, and social equity. With our QR Code for Mental Health initiative, we hope to make seeking mental health resources both easier and more accepted.

Raising Awareness of Pequannock's History
We're working to encourage the Pequannock Township School District to include in formal curriculum, the truth about the enslaved people who lived and died in 18th Century Pequannock Township…and how their bodies were disinterred in the 1930’s from what is now PV Park…and are now reinterred in the First Reformed Church cemetery.
