At a time of heightened attention to refugees and immigrants, Episcopal Migration Ministries has won an award for a moving seven-minute video titled #SupportRefugees. The video, funded by the Mormon Church, describes the work of EMM and features resettled refugees telling their stories.
Episcopal Migration Ministries is a ministry of The Episcopal Church and is one of nine national agencies responsible for resettling refugees in the United States in partnership with the government.
EMM has lately faced financial challenges because of the Trump Administration’s restrictions on immigration and the number of refugees admitted to the country each year.
