Why should we care?
SCS’s ability to provide a quality, equitable education is being undercut by high teacher turnover and year-long teaching vacancies, as well as significant maintenance deficiencies within the schools, all of which leads to higher financial, educational, and health costs. A lack of access to wraparound services provided by qualified social workers, psychologists, and nurses inhibits the successful treatment of trauma or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). Abuse, neglect, and trauma significantly increase the likelihood of suspensions, juvenile criminal behavior, and incarceration. With a median age four years below the national average, Memphis’s population can support economic development, but only if we provide children in our community access to opportunities and support.

About the event
Memphis Interfaith Coalition for Action and Hope (MICAH) partner organizations recognize the significance and strength that comes from collaboration in our mission to create a more just and equitable Memphis. Together, we have achieved remarkable progress in our city and have even started expanding our efforts to address issues at the state level. In 2018, MICAH's charter partners covenanted together in this work, pledging to stand together against the disparities and injustices that have impacted our community.
On November 17, 2024, we will reaffirm this commitment through a Re-Covenanting Ceremony, where we will celebrate the progress we've made and renew our pledge to continue standing together. Returning to the space of the Covenanting in 2018, the Re-Covenanting Ceremony will be held at New Direction Christian Church from 4 to 6 pm.
