@TracieAbell2 I 100% support this law, many lives can be saved by prohibiting law enforcement from stopping, searching, or detaining any individual based on race.

@KarissaSage465 I 100% support HB113, awareness needs to be brought to Juneteenth and the history of what that day holds. It's African American's true independence day! Great day!

H.R.5776 establishes a Center for LGBTQIA+ Veterans within the Department of Veterans Affairs. NASW states we must respect the inherent dignity and worth of the person. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/m9HlF3i5wu

S.4464 requires the Federal Reserve Board to complete its duties that support the elimination of racial and ethnic gaps in employment, income, and access to affordable credit. NASW states SW's must advocate for vulnerable individuals/groups. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@cassidySWWKU SB2771 is vital, as the infographic stated breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women! More attention needs to go to SB2771, which I support! Great job!

@emily_osmanski This is still a population I’m learning about, I feel as though they are a forgotten population. However, after reading over how they are treated, there needs to be more legislation to protect them from being taken advantage of or harmed. Great job!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

H.R.2922 requires statutory approval for the Elder Justice Initiative, which coordinates activities of the Department of Justice to fight against elder neglect, abuse, and financial fraud. NASW states SW's must advocate for vulnerable individuals/groups. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@BryanneB_WKU Hey Bry, I fully support S.1469, I believe the bill can save several youths' lives. It prevents them from engaging in harmful behaviors to survive! Great job!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

@KelseyScott53 Hey Kelsey, it's extremely dishearting that the state of Kentucky has one of the largest reported abuse and neglect rates known worldwide. SB 287 is vital as it can save several children from abuse! I support 100,000%, great job!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

H.R.1658 allows the Children's Bureau to provide grants for programs that support a high-quality workforce to prevent child abuse and neglect. NASW believes our duty is to aid the welfare of clients. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/QPXHWaw0p8

@BryanneB_WKU Bry, I adore this bill, it’s extremely disheartening to hear individuals with mental health issues be harmed or killed by police officers because they are not equipped to handle those situations. I support 100,000%!!!!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

@cassidySWWKU I stand with TN Shield of Care, a suicide prevention curriculum is extremely vital for those who work within juvenile justice facilities. Many do not take into account this population's mental health!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

S.1795 - Pursuing Equity in Mental Health Act involves expanding and establishing programs to address ethnic and racial disparities in mental health for youths. NASW states we must be culturally competent when working with clients. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/YKS2PbHbzF

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

@emily_osmanski I agree with your statement that health insurers do not adequately cover mental health treatment. I hope that through constant advocating, insurers will have the same coverage for mental health as they do physical health. Great job!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

@_ashleyyoung014 I stand with this bill; many women experience PPD and have no clue why they feel new emotions and how to address their situation without feeling as though they failed at being a mother or "losing their mind" Great job!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

Black women are more likely to die from childbirth or pregnancy than other races of women. Black Maternal Health Momnibus will fill gaps in current law, ending avoidable maternal mortality.NASW states we must contest social injustice. #WKUSocialWorkPolicy https://t.co/f8h0aPvSMd

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

@_ashleyyoung014 You summed up perfectly, why this bill is important! The number of children in Kentucky who are homeless students is disheartening. This bill needs to go into effect since it can have a positive change in trajectory of the student's lives! Great job!!!

[Bree_Redeaux @BreeRedeaux]

@sofirdrgez I adore how passionate you are about this bill! I agree with why we should oppose this bill, all students have the right to education regardless of whether they are a citizen or resident! Great job!

@LeaderMcConnell House Bill 88 requires Black and Native American history in middle and high school world history courses. The social worker's position on the bill is social justice and the dignity and worth of the person. Infographic below.@AshSoSassy #WKUsocialworkpolicy
