@NickySumner4 @cranbury_s I also love that idea. Other countries have baby boxes as well, such as the Czech Republic and Germany. Unwanted children are safe and can find a new home with adoptive parents. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

Biden to unveil $1.8 trillion plan for children and families — here's what's in it https://t.co/5OYhw2stHs
The plan includes affordable child care and universal preschool! This could help so many single parents to become self-sufficient. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@NWent321 @cranbury_s This is a summary of 36 states, which currently have 145 Bills in progress concerning "Policing Alternatives and Collaboration." Some adopted, some pending, and some enacted. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@Courtney_MSW @cranbury_s @SUSocialWork Yes! We cannot allow hate to spread. How one looks does not determine where they are from and what they have done in their life. Let us not judge people by their appearance. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@PediMort @cranbury_s Especially while we are living through this pandemic, cyberbullying increased dramatically. These kids cannot stay away from social platforms since this may be the only way to communicate with peers. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

This criminal justice advocacy coalition actively advocates for specific Common Pleas Cort candidates, who they believe would bring change to the existing system. Do you believe they should go bigger? #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@CHall_SU_MSW @cranbury_s Only very few organizations have equal pay. In the U.S. military, males and females receive equal pay! Yet, their inequality shows in the rate of promotions. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@BrianaPedroza_ @BrittneyRush20 The positive changes these social workers could make could also have a positive impact on the police force. Also, social workers directly involved will speak up if they see injustice being done. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

The new Deputy Assistant to the President has experience in coalition-building efforts, which will greatly benefit her new role by weighing options, framing issues, and collaborating with many. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@StephB_sowok @cranbury_s @SUSocialWork I love the fact that the letter of one person caused Delegate Danica Roem to introduce the bill. One person can and did have an impact! A lesson to remember! @SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@valceesowk This is an example of an organization that tries to help by providing virtual ways for immunocompromised children to stay in touch with their families while in the hospital. Supporting organizations like this one is a start. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

This former official was barred from federal work after being accused of violating the Hatch Act by creating a video for the 2020 Republican convention. Great example after we just talked about it in class. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

For advocates, New York's new legal weed bill is a major victory against racist drug sentencing
https://t.co/h0sSxng87A via @thisisinsider
People of color are disproportionately punished for marijuana crimes. The bill is the result of years of advocacy! #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@StephB_sowok @SUSocialWork @cranbury_s Xenophobia during pandemics has definitely a long history, which also showed how often misinformation and exacerbation played a role in it. It is time to break the cycle! #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

@NWent321 @cranbury_s Some vaccination is already required for our children to attend sports, for instance. However, mandating a vaccination that one doesn't trust can cause major issues and might decrease the trust in the president. Tricky decision to make. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

Many World Leaders Call For Treaty On Future Pandemics https://t.co/xVjnjKbIqx
What do you think about a worldwide treaty for future pandemics? Covid-19 did show how borders have no effect on spreading a virus. #SUSocialWork @cranbury_s

Out Of Prison But Still Trapped: Examining The 'Afterlife' Of Incarceration https://t.co/m06Cfw0aV1
What do you think about the policies that affect life after incarceration? Are the restrictions for people with records necessary or discriminatory? #Susocialwork @cranbury_s

[Michaela Higashiyama @MichaelaHigash1]

@NAndradeSW This is a perfect example of how the fear of difference leads to hate. We are all different in so many ways and similar and others. I do not understand why we cannot accept each other as we are! #SUSocialWork

[Michaela Higashiyama @MichaelaHigash1]

@DrAPOwens YES!!! I hope there are more to follow! It does not just benefit the workers but also the company. #SUSocialWork

@MaryScruggs21 Being overseas, social media is great to keep up with family and friends in a timely manner. However, I would still prefer face-to-face to have real quality moments! #SUSocialWork
