The Episcopal Farmworker Ministry invites you to participate in Beloved Neighbors, a training program about history, race, and immigration.
The training consists of six online sessions, via Zoom, at 10 am on Saturdays.
August 22: So how did we get here? Exploring the history of farmworkers in the United States
August 29: Roots of migration
September 5: What part of legal immigration don’t you understand?
September 12: Our community, our stories
September 19: Stories Beyond Borders (movie and panel)

Participants will walk away with a new perspective about the issues faced by immigrants, and with new tools to enact positive social change.
Trainings will be recorded for those who can’t attend all sessions.

I am now in the Diocese of Southwestern Virginia. Could I share with people here to register? Could I attend?
Hi Martha, you and anyone in your community are welome to attend!
How long are the sessions?
Each session will be between 1.5 to 2 hours. We hope to see you there!
Beloved Neighbors is a great program, well designed, well delivered. From farm workers themselves, you learn the REAL cost of what you eat. Thanks to the Episcopal Farm Workers Ministry. And most of all, thanks to the farm workers. They put their lives on the line every day, especially but not limited to working during the pandemic.
Peter, thank you for your comment. We appreciate your feedback and support! We will have a second round of trainings. Please invite your contacts to participate 🙂
