Interfaith Coalition for Action, Reconciliation and Empowerment (ICARE) Details
ICARE is comprised of 38 congregations in Duval County that is now in its seventeenth year. Combined, our congregations represent more than 30,000 residents from a broad cross-section of the Jacksonville community. We are incorporated in Florida as a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) tax exempt and politically non-partisan organization.Our mission is to powerfully address citywide concerns related to issues of justice and fairness. We are a direct action organization not a direct service organization. We use our collective people power to press our elected officials and other city leaders on county-wide solutions to the problems that plague our community: crime, the low graduation rate, homelessness, jobs and other community concerns.Our vision is that as communities of faith who gather together at least 52 times a year, at least once a year we can all come together to do justice.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.
