Network Launches Refugee Drive

Adapted from Episcopal News Service

The Episcopal Public Policy Network has announced a national advocacy campaign in support of refugees.

“Over the next two months, we’re challenging Episcopalians to call their national, state, and local elected officials at least four times,” the network said in a press release. “Now, more than ever, people of faith must make their voices heard. We have created a 2×4 Fight for Refugees Campaign page with numbers to dial and a sample script on our website.”

The Episcopal Church, through Episcopal Migration Ministries, is one of the nine refugee resettlement agencies in the United States. Episcopalians around the country engage in the work of welcome every day.
