ICCR is formulating an action plan for socially responsible and faith-based investors to respond to the continuing crisis in the Gulf Coast through advocacy, solidarity, and community investment. The first piece of the action plan is to call on Members of Congress to visit the region. The vast majority have yet to do so. Institutional investors may join ICCR in this call by clicking here.
