New op-ed @statnews
Black clinical social workers are facing barriers to obtaining licensure at a time when more Black Americans are dying by suicide than before. If we want to prevent Black suicides then we must support alternative paths to licensure

@ccwchicago So what's next?
This working group will convene to develop recommendations on how to implement the #TreatmentNotTrauma, which includes:
❤️Re-opening closed CDPH centers
❤️Creating a public, citywide, NON POLICE crisis response
❤️ENDING the police co-responder program
We're just about underway at today's meeting of the Chicago City Council, where the proposal to hike taxes on the sales of properties worth $1M or more to fight homelessness (AKA “Bring Chicago Home”) is set to clear a key hurdle. Follow along, yes? @wttw
We’re at City Hall this morning for a vote on an ordinance for the creation of a working group on mental health resources to create framework for #TreatmentNotTrauma. We also know the impact mental health has on those experiencing houselessness, it’s time to #BringChicagoHome!
ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL CONTEXT from one of our members: BSA is blocking critics on Instagram instead of engaging with concerns from the public. That ain't right! Take a moment to send an email today.

Good morning! We want to amplify some recent organizing by .@BSAworkersunion, who are fighting for their first contract from the management at .@BraveSpaceChi
Follow along in this thread: 🪡🧵
ADDITIONAL CONTEXT: While @HBHWorkers and @BSAworkersunion were demanding accountability for Unfair Labor Practices & fighting for a good contract, BSA management spent Pride Month schmoozing with HBH Chief Union Buster David Munar. That ain't right.
