IMAC STRATEGIC PLAN

​HIGHLIGHTS


The IMAC Strategic Plan, adopted in 2012 by IMAC's Steering Committee , both reaffirms IMAC's mission: To bring together communities of faith with the purpose of awakening our nation's leaders to their moral obligation of taking urgent action on climate change and commits us to taking the following actions:

  • Support the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies in current economic and tax policy
 
  • Advocate for a monetary reclamation of the economic costs of carbon production through mining/manufacturing/and commerce and the redistribution of that asset
 
  • Campaign among faith-based institutions and investment agents including those of pension funds, academic institutions, donor driven charitable groups, etc. to take decisions to move investments in fossil fuels to alternatives that meet criteria of a sustainable future for all creation
 
  • Name, in a variety of ways, the extreme extractive practices (tar sands, fracking, mountain top removal, deep water and remote region drilling and publicly identify the agents of these practices (company names, industry leaders, lobbying organizations, etc.)
 
  • Hold two annual signature events - the first on Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, and the second during the periods of Christian Holy Week and Jewish Passover - which address the urgency of the climate crisis in the context of social, economic, and racial justice as a moral imperative; and deepens a public awareness of the complicity of those living in the United States for current climate conditions and threats globally
 
  • Build the interfaith coalition and bring it as a community to support, service and engagement with climate-change action networks and campaigns as a moral force
 
  • Create and disseminate resources and tools of pastoral application that will build resilience and hope and will sustain us in the face of the impacts of climate change as we transform the ways in which we live in the world to effect changes that mitigate current climate trajectories
 
  • Organize the work of IMAC so that human and financial resources are secured and employed in structures that are efficient and efficacious.
