@sarahjschlich Wow! I had no clue about this. As social workers, we must work to make our society more equal and just. Women and minority populations should be included in research and medical advances just as much other majority groups.

@mailirose95 Advocating for our vulnerable youth is essential to improving our future society. Social workers are key to leading this movement! As social workers we must be these leaders in our communities to prevent bullying and/or physical assault.

Freedom for All Americans is an organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ and their rights to not be discriminated against. The NASW supports social justice and equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/xUcmMnbAEt

@RobbieMcgehee Closing the wage gap is one of the many steps needed to ensure gender equality in the work place and in our society. As social workers we must advocate for equality and social justice!

@leticia_ofili Immigrant communities are an extremely vulnerable group as they are often discriminated against in our society. As social workers must stand up against this and advocate for these vulnerable populations.

The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 would allow a path of citizenship for over 11million immigrants already living in the US. NASW publicly supported this bill as it supports the dignity and worth along with challenging social justice. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/4lezo8jqZC

@leticia_ofili There are so many elderly in our communities that go without essential care due to their lack of comprehensive health care coverage. Many suffer in silence. As social workers, we must stand up for this vulnerable population.

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

@TammyVantrease Being aware of how COVID-19 is affecting those around us, especially the elderly population, is essential in order to be able to best serve our communities as social workers. This past year has been challenging for so many people!

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

Each year more than 10% of adults aged 60+ will experience some form of elder abuse. The NASW supports combatting social injustices along with valuing the dignity and worth of every person.

@TammyVantrease Being a previous child welfare worker myself, I often saw the outcomes of poor self-care practices. Teaching practical self-care can be essential prevention to ensuring the retention of many child welfare workers.

@AshlynCrabtre16 Strengthening family relationships is the first step in preventing child maltreatment. Being proactive in this way could improve not only life outcomes for individual children, but also improve society as a whole. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

When children are removed from their homes, the first option should be to look for a kinship home to minimize trauma, stress, and to promote better outcomes for the child. The NASW supports the importance of human relationships and so should we! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@EmileeNealy Research has shown time and time again that the death penalty does not curb crime yet some states still use it. People deserve treatment and rehabilitation not death.

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

@mailirose95 COVID-19 has been very hard are so many people across the US and world. Through telehealth more people are able to receive services during this time. Hopefully this will continue even when COVID-19 is resolved so that services can reach those that normally would not have access.

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

NASW supports the dignity and worth of all people. KY HB19 is pushing for the end of conversion therapies for minors in KY! #wkusocialworkpolicy

@KimberlyB_BSW Everyday I see how the high cost of insulin impacts my clients when they cannot afford it. Insulin is a NEED and not a WANT. Insulin should be easily accessible for everyone, not just the rich.

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

@sarahjschlich Race or income level should not determine the care you receive. Challenging this injustice is just one step to overcoming this pandemic and future injustices in our communities. #wkusocialworkpolicy

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

In this time of COVID-19 income or race should not determine who can receive treatment. Accessible healthcare is one step to addressing this social injustice. #wkusocialworkpolicy #NASW

@lauren_wkumsw @dannycarrollky In my work I have seen how issues with telehealth billing has limited many people in what services they have access to. Times like now show how essential this bill is to supporting equal and accessible healthcare for all really is! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Callie Smith @CallieS46800380]

@EmileeNealy @pattiminter4ky @nasw It's crazy that this practice has ever been considered okay! Absolutely shocking! Pregnant women in labor who are incarcerated deserve to have their dignity and self-worth honored. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
