@Imeojeda A good call to action for advocacy could be a speak out movement. Something to encourage others to continue to speak up. It’ll start a trend in social media! #macroswk#swk4999
@Imeojeda A2: a efficient way to inspire people to join a movement is to make it something relevant so more people care about it. Another thing is to put a face to the cause so it almost becomes like a brand, when people see or hear about so and so they think of ur cause #macroswk #4999
@Imeojeda A1: I personally do not partake in social movements on social media often because of the NASWs technology policies set in place for social workers and social work students. #macroswk #4999
Tonight's topic is: Advocacy and Social Media: From Keyboard to Action. Over the last few years, we have seen a rapid growth of social/ grassroots movements that have flourished thanks to a strong social media platform. Some examples: #BlackLivesMatter#WomensMarch#MacroSW

A2: As far as sharing my expertise I’m not quite sure I’ve had my moment to shine just yet. I will be in my field placement this fall . my expertise is communication, I am aware and observant when it comes to communication of any kind, even non verbal.

A1: #MacroSW A swk related issue they should be displayed more on social media is online resources. Some are still stuck at home due to covid, and being cooped up can stir with people’s emotions. Telehealth and other online counseling services, this could help a ton. #SWK3100
In ten years from now I feel as if a challenge we will face is a huge change within law enforcement and the eduction being taught in criminal justice. #swk4999#MacroSW
@IzzyRyzenga Hey Izzy! I completely agree with your view on keeping up with the environment because I personally did not take our surroundings into consideration when I did my response, thanks for sharing with me! #4999
A1: I think to be “ready” for the future, social workers need to consider the constant changes in environments, especially in regards to technology. This means being willing and open to adapting and improving practices and strategies to meet these changes #MacroSW#SWK4999
