Interfaith Coalition for Action, Reconciliation & Empowerment
Every fall ICARE conducts a grassroots listening process that involves hundreds of citizens talking to one another in small house meetings. In November, ICARE members come together at the Community Problems Assembly to vote democratically on what community justice issues we will address for the year.
Next, trained committees of approximately 20 ICARE leaders research each problem to find winnable, evidence-based solutions.
We then hold our annual Nehemiah Action Assembly in the spring, where we engage our elected and public officials to make commitments around the solutions to the problems.
In addition to listening, research and implementation, ICARE follows-up and monitors outcomes.
