ICM CHILDREN'S ISSUES AND ADVOCACY FORUMS--
CANCELLATION: JAN. 13 ISSUES AND ADVOCACY FORUM
It is with much regret that we must cancel the January 13 ICM Children's Issues and Advocacy forum. We were recently notified that the facility has made the decision not to open tomorrow until the afternoon due to the potential refreezing of its access streets.
Please accept our sincere apologies. We hope that you will join us on the rescheduled date (to be determined). If you have shared information about tomorrow's forum with others, we would greatly appreciate it if you would share this cancellation message.
You can reach us at ICM e-mail or 770-498-2141 with any questions.
Sincerely,
Pamela Perkins, ICM Coordinator |

SPIRITUAL WITNESS FOR CHILDREN |
One of the most important things faith communities can do for children is to pray for them.
Every child is a child of God and deserves justice and compassion. Every child deserves our prayers.
ICM encourages every faith community to become a spiritual witness for children. Hold a worship service in your church, synagogue, mosque or temple and invite others to join in praying for the well-being of all children. |
ICM Mission and Goals
The Interfaith Children's Movement was formed in 2001 as an intentional association of individuals and communities of faith from all religious traditions.
The Interfaith Children's Movement strives to be a voice for all Georgia children, but especially the poor and marginalized whose voices are often unheard.
ICM works closely with Georgia's policy-oriented child advocacy organizations, such as:
-
Voices for Georgia's Children,
-
The Barton Child Law and Policy Clinic at Emory University,
-
Georgia Appleseed,
-
JUSTGeorgia,
-
Prevent Child Abuse Georgia and
-
A Future.Not a Past. (child prostitution prevention).
These organizations set the agenda for our advocacy work for children.
ICM's faith community members provide a megaphone to the legislature about what needs to be done for children.
