Seek social justice by working to expand choice and opportunity for all persons
Recognize a special responsibility to plan for the needs of the disadvantaged and to promote racial and economic integration and urge the alteration of policies, institutions, and decisions that oppose such needs.
Provide citizens the opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the development of plans and programs that may affect them.
