CALL TO ACTION!
ICM Hosts JUSTGeorgia Coalition Regional Meeting:
Reforming Georgia's Juvenile Code
ICM Save the Date!
We have come together and prayed. Now, we must take action.
Don't forget to do two things on November 3:
1. Vote in your local election.
2. Come to the ICM/JUSTGeorgia Coalition regional meeting on a new Juvenile Code for Georgia--SB 292: The Child Protection and Public Safety Act.
40 years of "patching" have yielded a hodgepodge of amendments and confusing language. Georgia's children deserve a new Juvenile Code that's clear and fair.
Let's make sure they get one.ICM and JUSTGeorgia
