@MaraAnthony95 I can see how this would be more likely based on the situation. I believe we should be re-evaluating many different laws & regulations due to recent incidents, including guns. I hear you, if someone wants to they will, but shouldn’t we do our best 2 protect? #SUSocialWork
@SamRecovery12 I really appreciate this question and point of view! It’s about empowering yourself, doing your research, and being educated! Also, how can we protect ourself and others #SUSocialWork#SOWK410
@AlisonLJohnson This is a great article. Children may not be able to verbalize exactly what they're feeling, but they know when something is not right. It is so important to listen to your child and be willing to talk to the doctor about these symptoms. #SUSocialWork#sowk410
@behnke_jess How disheartening to see this. I could barley watch honestly. There MUST be accountability. I know that using social media and videos are helping to share these incidents more, but it is still difficult to take in. #SUsocialWork
This movement is right in line with the Fight for $15. I can appreciate the frustration of trying 2 be a good student & working w/o compensation. They are trying 2 draw a line between their obligations as a students & employees. A PhD or large Debt? #SUsocialWork
RT @loyolaforus: NATIONAL NEWS...@Newsweek “We want to be giving Loyola really high-quality teaching and scholarship, and they are not giving us the resources that allow us to do that,” Clifford said. It's time to #BargainLUC. We want a #LoyolaForUs at #… https://t.co/EIQWpqHtwR
@lbaroch1 I love this! Seeing men advocate for domestic violence in this way is a very useful tool to get the word out. We need to make big statements like this to create change and open the communities eyes to injustice happening close to them. How awesome! #SUSocialWork#sowk410
@HendronMakenzie I LOVE THIS! How fantastic to see a fourth grader advocating for himself and teaching his classmates about autism. This is what we should be empowering our clients to do for themselves everyday. I feel so inspired! #SUsocialwork#sowk410
@MaraAnthony95 I absolutely agree! How did it get this far to make people chose between living a healthy functional life or putting food on the table and pay their bills. The high price of medications and medical care is an infringement on human rights!#SUsocialwork#sowk410
To ignore the fact that there is racism still happening is an injustice. It is hard to see these predominantly black churches being targeted by the accused and not expose the racism. Hate crimes should be addressed as such. Let us not ignore injustice #SUsocialwork#sowk410
A man accused of setting fire to three predominantly black churches in a southern Louisiana parish was charged with hate crimes on Monday, The Associated Press reported, adding to the 3 charges of arson that were filed last week https://t.co/xPbq7R669N
"A picture is worth 1,000 words". Social media is a tool to help promote change, when used correctly. As future social workers we need to learn how to use this tool to advocate for issues. This article depicts the importance of social media & using peaceful protest #SUsocialwork
@SamRecovery12 This is a really great quote. Open communication w/ children is so helpful for navigating their way through these different topics. w/ the accessibility kids have to the internet, it's so much better to hear about these topics from ppl they trust and not ppl online #SUsocialwork
@AlisonLJohnson This is really scary! I know there are reasons people opt out of vaccinations and they do have that right, but it's very frightening when you see this. Vaccinations are there to help and prevent outbreaks like this. #susocialwork#sowk410
“we realized that solitary was not solving the problem. It was contributing to it”. We are setting up this population for failure after release. There are better ways to handle discipline in jail without causing mental health problems for the future. #SUsocialwork#SOWK410
“And the damage solitary inflicts on people is indisputable. Years of research have demonstrated that the effects include mental illness, anger, despondency and self-harm;”
This inhumane practice needs to END NOW!

@Teresas_Tweet @people YES! This is beautiful! I cannot wait to see the impact of this. Food is not a privilege it’s a human right. We should be working to make food prices more affordable, but it’s currently going the opposite direction. I’m so excited about this “free grocery store” #SUsocialwork
@behnke_jess I’m so glad this is an issue being talked about still. I really cannot believe that this is still not being resolved. The facts and numbers are there. We need to keep advocating for this change and using social media is an effective tool to share this info #SUsocialwork#SOWK410
@Teresas_Tweet Seeing a need and taking action! I think it is awesome that one of the systems these students are involved in is giving back to them in this way. This is a good reminder that we can make change by looking at community resources #SUsocialwork#SOWK410
Labor activism is an important cause & there needs to be regulation and adequate compensation for those who are working hard to provide for their families. It is awesome to see the many workers who supported their fellow worker during his detainment #SUsocialwork#SOWK410
@Spanishley How encouraging to see someone who is taking time to serve the community. Listening to those she was working with is one of the best ways to engage with that population. There is so much they have, and want to offer. Listening is so important way to empower others #SUsocialwork
@tjmontgomery12@USATODAY This is absolutely the definition of a human rights issue. There needs to be consideration taken for the children who are being detained. There are physical, emotional, and psychological factors that should be in the conversation of the broader policies #SUsocialwork
