Our country was built on a protest and here we are hundreds of years later trying to censor the very acts our forefathers fought for. Know your rights and fight for what you believe in. #susocialwork

[ACLU @ACLU]

In the past year, more than 90 anti-protest bills have been introduced across the country.

These bills are anti-democratic.

@charlotteSU2020 Sex education has not been updated since it was first implemented. I remember watching a birthing video from 1993 when I was in high school. We need to promote more inclusive sex education and talk about safe sex. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@FolleboutLauren I absolutely agree with you. There is no way to completely block publicity that surrounds a publicly committed crime. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@nlaneSU20 Many USM universities are following suit with this mandate. Herd immunity is imperative to attempt to defeat this virus. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@charlotteSU2020 The devastation caused by Covid-19 will be forever lasting. I am hopeful for healthcare workers have appropriate access to mental health services in an effort to begin healing. #susocialwork

I’ve always been a Disney fan but watching these movies from a social worker’s perspective can showcase many realities and perspectives. Definitely an interesting read! #susocialwork

[Social Work News @myswnews]

Which of these Social Work lessons from Pixar movies speaks to you..?

@nlaneSU20 I agree, I feel that social workers are necessary in order to make change. They come with critical de-escalation techniques that can truly help in situation of crisis. Thank you for sharing. #SUsocialwork

@charlotteSU2020 I waited with baited breath for the results of this trial and it took me back to Trayvon Martin's case and the defeat I felt with that verdict. Chauvin's verdict felt like a win, but it has done little to change the way policing is done. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

Race related trauma can often lead to PTSD in many Black Americans. There is no way to escape the constant replay of the videos many do not want to see. As Social Workers we need to cognizant of how this may play a role with clients we serve and do better. #susocialwork

[Slate @Slate]

Dehumanizing, retraumatizing, and the unequal burden of proof in cases of police violence against Black Americans. https://t.co/fC6obJlxoT

Working out in the mornings has significantly improved my mood and activity levels during the day. As a social worker, self-care is imperative to remain sane and exercising is mine. How do you guys practice self-care? #susocialwork

[Social Work News @myswnews]

Did you know it really is better for you to work out in the mornings?! Take 20 minutes of valuable #metime this #WellbeingWednesday to go for a walk, loosen up and reinvigorate with a full body stretch, or find a HIIT class to follow along to on YouTube!

@MrsKadyLady Seeing this made me hopeful that we will begin making steps towards necessary reforms. My greatest concern has been that it feels like their is never a moment to grieve the lives that have been taken because within days there is another shooting. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@_mikaliartice Covid-19 has made it almost impossible for those in prison to be comfortable. In addition to higher risks, their phone and outdoor privileges are significantly limited. I am wondering if there has been any information regarding vaccine rollouts in prison? #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

Healthcare is a right not a privilege. Everyone should have access to necessary care without having to worry about what the bill will look like after. As social workers, we need to fight for equal access to care for all people. #susocialworker

[ACLU @ACLU]

🗣️ Our health care is not a crime.

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@BriannacarterS Thank you for sharing your perspective. As someone who is high risk and works with the public, I jumped on the first opportunity I could to receive my vaccine. Though I suffered some of the side effects, I am gracious to have received it. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@Caitlin_MSW2020 Thank you for sharing this, Caitlin. As social work students it is so important that we recognize and address our own struggles in order to be our best selves. #Susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

Many people who seek gender-affirming surgery are met with medical bills that they can't afford. This is an injustice to many and we need to work together to change this. #susocialwork

[ACLU @ACLU]

Say it with us: Gender-affirming care is life-saving care.

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@nlaneSU20 Wow, this is hurtful to see. It feels as though we take one step forward just to take one step back. Everyone deserves the right to equal care regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@Caitlin_MSW2020 This is very true. Especially in our profession, I find myself ensuring that I take time to use self-care appropriately and monitor my moods in order to be in the best shape for my consumers. #susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@FolleboutLauren John Lewis was such a pivotal member of the Civil Rights movement and many other social justice movements there after. Thank you for sharing! #Susocialwork

[Peyton Washington @PeytonWashingt4]

@MrsKadyLady Thank you for sharing this article, I am glad to see that they are addressing some of these concerns that community members have been bringing up for years. #SUsocialwork
