Saying Goodbye to Emily Burns, Development and Communications Coordinator

I have had the privilege of working as MFSA’s Communications and Development Coordinator since August 2021, and now as I approach the end of my time with MFSA I give thanks for all I have experienced and received during my time here! This work has accompanied me during my time in graduate studies working toward a Master of Social Work. MFSA has provided a connection to other Justice-Seeking people of faith and organizations who are taking action on the issues I was learning about in the classroom. All of the advocacy and partnerships gave me a wider lens through which to consider issues of reproductive justice, Palestinian liberation, decolonialism, climate justice, racial justice, and many others.

I now embark on my next steps in my profession working with individuals who are living with the impact of all those very issues. I am grateful for the work of MFSA and will carry all that I have learned from this network of Justice-Seekers with me as I take my next steps!
