Thank you for visiting our web site! As you will see, Rural & Migrant Ministry is involved in a remarkable array of programs and activities as we work for rural justice throughout New York State. Our vitality is found through the diversity of countless people involved in the Ministry.

Education is an important component of RMM's work. Here a delegation of allies visit farmworkers in a farm camp.

Increasingly farmworkers are traveling to New York with their families.

Agriculture is a multi-million dollar industry in New York that is dependent on 50,000 + farmworkers. The workers - living here year round, as well as migrating - work in such areas as: dairy, poultry, apples and the vineyards.

Many immigrant rural workers work in food processing
plants like this poultry operation.

New York is one of the major dairy producers in the US.

Each summer RMM welcomes over one hundred children to our Overnight Leadership Camp.

Youth Arts Group members learning to produce a radio show.

Many women come to the Rural Women’s Conference with their children. This mother is making use of simultaneous translation equipment.

The faith community has been an integral ally in seeking the just treatment of farmworkers.
