A National Movement

Forbes Says “It’s Time to Reunite America.”

Love & Concern is a national movement empowering local communities to rebuild connection, restore trust, and rediscover what we share.

The Movement

Born from a Simple Truth

Born from the words of Bishop L.N. Forbes — “with Love and Concern” — this movement was founded by Mel Forbes because America’s neighborhoods have quietly drifted apart. Neighbors don’t know each other. Cities are divided. Communities have lost the connective tissue that once made them whole.

Love & Concern exists to change that. Not through politics. Not through protest. Through people — showing up, reaching out, and rebuilding the bonds that hold communities together.

Love of Faith

We honor faith as a source of unity, empathy, and shared meaning — the highest calling of our beliefs.

Love of Family

Strong families build strong neighborhoods. Care, belonging, and connection start at home.

Love of Country

Through service, respect, and civic engagement, we unite around what makes us one people.

Concern for Humanity

People come first. Kindness, dignity, and opportunity should extend to everyone.
