The standard aces scores are missing some important aspects of trauma. Applying social justice lense to trauma-informed approach in education is going to improve the ability to understand trauma and how to advocate for student. #SUSocialwork #ehgilheany https://t.co/kZ4Ibxv5eN

It's heartbreaking, yet eye-opening, that young minds are feeling injustice and pressure of their weight, appearance and depression. #SUSocialwork #ehgilheany

Being a mother who had a child die with a terminal illness, then awaiting results for new baby. I was 21 weeks before we found out she was healthy. To bring a child into the world and watch them die is heartbreaking and ruins your soul forever. #SUSocialWork #istandforthis

The Texas Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would remove an exception that allows for an abortion after 20 weeks if the pregnancy is unviable. #txlege https://t.co/uP25DyYaSS

It's amazing that less than half of the US states do not offer LGBTQ protection laws against discrimination. #SUSocialwork #initiatechange

Racial injustice is everywhere!
#SUSocialwork

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

To understand how racial injustice works subconsciously in America, all you need to do is watch how quickly + readily some people jump to justify stripping voting rights for millions of people, yet how uncomfortable and fraught that convo becomes when one brings up reparations.

I think every state should find a way to pay teachers more. #SUSocialwork

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

Texas Sen. Larry Taylor unveiled a new school finance bill, which includes a $5,000 teacher pay raise.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

To avoid looking completely + utterly out of touch w/ the reality our prison system:

Instead of asking, “Should the Boston Bomber have the right to vote?”

Try, “Should a nonviolent person stopped w/ a dime bag LOSE the right to vote?”

Bc that question reflects WAY more people.

#ICYMI:

On my first trip to Africa to advance our W-GDP Initiative, we visited 2 countries in 4 days carrying out 8 W-GDP deliverables.

Our mission to empower 50 million women globally to achieve their full economic potential is just getting started!

To bash someone publically in a political setting just shows arrogance in my opinion.

Special Olympics not only gives individuals with difficulties something to enjoy, but also something to work for, personal worth, and pride. Special Olympics does a lot of fundraising but not enough. SO funding cant be eliminated. #susocialwork

[LeAnn Weamer @leannwSU20]

At least 272,000 children are affected by this decision to eliminate funding of Special Needs Olympics. Unbelievable. #SUsocialwork
