This weekend, nearly 200 women of all ages—from teenagers to elders—are gathering in Sullivan County, NY, for the annual Rural Women’s Assembly.
The event, which brings together women from across New York State’s rural communities, fosters learning, inspiration, and empowerment. Organized by the Rural & Migrant Ministry, the assembly supports the organization’s mission to build a just and equitable rural New York by nurturing leadership, challenging unjust systems, and standing in solidarity with marginalized groups, particularly farmworkers and rural laborers.
We spoke to Adrienne Jensen, co- organizer of the Assembly. Jensen is also the Catskills Regional Coordinator for Rural Migrant Ministry and co-runs the Youth Economic Group.
