1.  Please contact members of the House Rules Committee and encourage them to send HB 200 to the House floor for a vote by the full House.
 2.  Please contact your House Representative and let him/her know that you support passage of HB 200.  If you do not know who your elected state legislators are, please go to Project Vote Smart.
 3.  Please contact members of the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee and thank them for their support of HB 200.
4.   Please thank Rep. Edward Lindsey for his sponsorship and commitment to HB 200.

Thank you for your steadfast commitment and continued support of all of Georgia's children.
SPIRITUAL WITNESS FOR CHILDREN
Prayer
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.
