ICM is calling upon the interfaith community to join us at ICM Day at the Capitol 2013 "Have a Heart for Children." The interfaith community must make its presence known to our legislators and speak with a clear, unified voice for each and every child.

 

The 2013 legislative session will address the future of Georgia's children in several pieces of legislation, such as:

-  re-writing our juvenile code;

-  enhancing human trafficking/CSEC laws and services;

-  securing a quality education for all children;

-  increasing the safety of the early care of our youngest children; and

-  helping parents take care of their children and keep their jobs.

 

REGISTER TODAY and begin the work of ensuring the well-being of Georgia's children in 2013.

 

The last day to register is February 8, 2013. Parking is very limited around the Capitol area. We strongly recommend that you ride MARTA and/or vanpool or carpool where MARTA is not readily accessible.

ICM Mission and Goals

 

The Interfaith Children's Movement (ICM) is an interfaith, grassroots, advocacy movement dedicated to improving the well-being of children in Georgia.  ICM 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 children in Georgia, but especially the poor and marginalized whose voices are often unheard. 

 

ICM works closely with Georgia's policy-oriented child advocacy organizations, such as:

One of the most important things faith communities can do for children is to pray for them.

 

Every child is a child of God.  All children deserve justice, compassion and our prayers.

 

ICM encourages every faith community to become a spiritual witness for children. Hold a worship service in your church, synagogue, masjid / mosque or temple and invite others to join in praying for the well-being of all children.
