Youth voices matter, especially when it comes to mental health! 💜 During our October Youth Alliance meeting, students had the opportunity to learn from Kendall Jordan and Dr. Kemp about mental health access in schools. Together, they explored the importance of mental health resources, the challenges students may face when seeking support, and why access to care matters for young people. Thank you to Kendall Jordan and Dr. Kemp for sharing their knowledge and helping our students deepen their understanding of this important issue! #faithinaction #ICM #advocacy #interfaith #mentalhealthmatters

💜 Faith in Action Together with our partners, ICM convened What's Really BEST: A Roundtable on Faith & Building a Shared Economy at Ebenezer Baptist Church. This was more than a conversation. It was a space to better understand what Georgia's newly approved state budget means for children and families, align around shared priorities, and consider how we move forward together. Building a more just Georgia for children and families starts with recognizing we are always stronger together✨. Learn. Pray. Act. #ICMGeorgia #faithandaction #advocacy #forwardtogether #atl

💜 Leading Today. Shaping Tomorrow. This spring, we welcomed interns from Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School to ICM.

We can't wait to see where their journey leads. Learn. Pray. Act. #ICMGeorgia #Interfaith #youthleadership #advocacy #atlanta

ICM Day at the Capitol was one for the books. Children, youth, religious leaders, elected officials, and advocates from across Georgia gathered to stand for the well-being of Georgia’s children and families. From meaningful conversations with legislators to delivering “Have a Heart” bags at the Georgia State Capitol, the day was filled with learning, connection, and courageous advocacy. Advocates of all ages began the day with a hands-on advocacy workshop before heading to the Capitol to speak out on the issues impacting children and families across the state. Together we shared a meal, gathered in community, and amplified our collective voices. This day reflects the work that continues throughout the year, turning faith and courage into meaningful change for Georgia’s children and families.

If Dr. King never stopped fighting, why would we? The work continues wherever children need safety, dignity, and a future worth believing in. #martinlutherkingjr #faith #advocacy #interfaithchildrensmovement #atlanta

MLK’s legacy lives on when young people are taught not just to hope for change, but to create it. What happens when the next generation is taught not just to dream, but to build, invest, and lead in their own communities? #atlanta #martinlutherkingjr #faith #advocacy #interfaithchildrensmovement

📣With the start of the legislative session, lawmakers now enter a 40-day window to introduce and move legislation that will shape the year ahead, and we remain committed to ensuring that children and families are centered in every policy decision. In collaboration with the Poor People's Campaign, ICM invited the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, the Georgia Interfaith Public Policy Center, the Jewish Community Relations Council, and other advocacy partners and state leaders, to ring the alarm for Georgia to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
