ICARE
They’re a group of hundreds of local faith leaders who have come together to create urgency around solutions to serious community problems.
ICARE, the Interfaith Coalition for Action, Reconciliation and Empowerment, is working to mobilize Jacksonville residents to stand up for systemic change.
Thursday night, ICARE will host a rally which will address everything from jobs to homelessness, to the criminal justice system in Northeast Florida, and how to reintegrate ex-offenders.
We discuss those issues with ICARE co-presidents James Wiggins, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, and Phillip Baber, pastor of Unitarian Universalist Church of Jacksonville.
