Since October 7 we have been emotionally drained seeing the war in Israel and Gaza and loss of so many innocent lives, especially children and women. Recognizing that Franklin is the second most diverse town in New Jersey, it is even more important for all of us to remember our responsibilities as leaders of the community. We need to promote unity and respect at all levels. Many of us, including all of Franklin Public school students, took the “Stand up for the other” pledge. As you all know the pledge reads:
“While interacting with members of my own faith, or ethnic, or gender community, or with others, if I hear hateful comments from anyone about members of any other community, I pledge to stand up for the other and speak up to challenge bigotry in any form.”
