Community leaders from the City of Jackson, Jackson Police Department, United Way of West Tennessee, Lane College, Code Red Coalition and Jackson Madison County School System will hold a press conference to discuss a mission to reduce violence while empowering the community at the Kirkendoll Center on the campus of Lane College at 9 a.m., Thursday.
The initiative for Community Advocacy, Resilience and Empowerment (I-CARE), which consists of representatives from the 7P’s – Pastors, Police, Politicians, Proprietors, Parents, Principals, and Partners and other community leaders are a group of change agents in the community.
Through community awareness and education events, I-CARE has worked for the past year to inform and impact Jackson to make a safer community.
