ICARE Citizenship
International Institute for Citizenship Awareness and Responsible Engagement
ICARE Citizenship
seeks a world where people live positive core values as stated in the Ten Commandments and Golden Rule; as Full Citizens with both Rights and Responsibilities in a fair and just society.
ICARE supports the work of James Meredith to promote true Christian values, the U.S. Constitution, and responsible engagement to transform our nation and help America lead the world.
ICARE Citizenship Programs and Principles
God's Simple Plan
The principal problem is the breakdown of moral character. We must teach the Ten Commandments and Golden Rule to every child.
Responsible Government
Full citizenship asserts one’s own constitutional authority, and recognizes one’s responsibility to contribute to society, as well as benefit from it.
Learning Excellence
Americans are challenged to help children in public schools in their community, especially those educating disadvantaged students.
Economic
Sustainability
There is no independence (personal, social, or political) without economic freedom derived from ethical businesses, livable jobs, and equitable wealth.
Healthy Vitality
Health (spiritual, mental, and physical), healthy lifestyles, and accessible healthcare help each individual benefit themselves, their families, and society.
Nature Integrity
Sound, whole natural environments and ecosystems have intrinsic value as well as significance for human sustainability.
