@nataliecubbage6 Hi Natalie. I appreciate you drawing attention to The Equity Act. I like that the infographic is inclusive of several groups. Social workers certainly do need to take a stance against inequities and discrimination! Thanks!

@courtneygray244 Hi Courtney, What a striking statistic! I would have guessed three or four times that number. Interesting infographic. I am glad to be more aware of this issue. Thanks for drawing attention to it!

Stand with NASW and support equal rights for all LGBTQ+ Americans. Help pass The Equality Act. Basic freedoms are missing in 29 states for LGBTQ+ Americans. #WKUsocialworkpolicy #RealityFlag https://t.co/3RFWo7JYMT

@BreeRedeaux Bree, thanks so much for bringing this to my attention by sharing about H.R.5776. This could bring with a it a greater sense of safety and acceptance for LGBTQIA+Veterans within the Department of Veterans Affairs.

@CarolSSmith1524 Caroline, Thanks for bringing attention to this deplorable bill. Learning about the level of support behind this bill makes it hard to imagine an undivided nation in the future. I am angry and saddened by this and other, similarly aimed bills. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

Stand with NASW and the Women's Refugee Commission by empowering migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking women and children so that they can begin to rebuild their lives. Immigration reform NOW. https://t.co/3xKJ6Ndyp6

@Ashley95683110 Ashley, thank you for bringing attention to the recent increase in elder abuse and for outlining and differentiating between the different types of abuse. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

Stand with NASW and support HB149, the Kentucky Our Care, Our Options Act. Terminally-ill adults should have the right to end their lives peacefully and with dignity, surrounded by family and loved ones. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@TaylorSimp03 Taylor, thanks for this important service announcement and reminder that April is child abuse awareness month!#WKUsocialworkpolicy

@AllieCook99 Allie, thanks so much for bringing attention to underreporting of child abuse and for suggesting potential actions that may move us in the right direction as we seek progress in this area. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@StackHollow
Stand with NASW and fight Senate Bill 138, reactionary legislation to an imaginary problem that violates children’s right to an education that supports their ability to engage with and understand the world around them. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@emouserSW630 This is fantastic, Emily. Another benefit seems to me to be that providers can work from home, potentially allowing a more flexibility on that end as well. Thanks! #WKUSocialWorkPolicy

@nataliecubbage6 Hi Nalalie. Thanks for brining attention to this important issue. I generally think about VA professionals as some of the best quality services available, so I hadn't considered the importance of a Veterans Choice-type of program. Thanks for educating me. #WKUSocialWorkPolicy

[Amy Maggard Harper @StackHollow]

@Ashley95683110 Thanks, Ashley, for bringing attention to the problems associated with the stigma attached to mental illness!

[Amy Maggard Harper @StackHollow]

Stand with NASW and support the Medicaid Reentry Act. Help prevent recidivism and allow incarcerated individuals to receive vital mental health and addiction services covered by Medicaid 30-days prior to their release. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@courtneygray244 Thanks, Courtney, for your post and link to what seems to be a really good resource for better understanding the issues. I wonder if our society's foundations in individualism and in Capitalism will ever allow a universal health care system to be put in place#WKUsocialworkPolicy

[Amy Maggard Harper @StackHollow]

@nataliecubbage6 I was shocked to learn this, Natalie. Thanks for sharing. I thought the ACA provided this, and was very surprised to learn about the apparent loop hole/wording that some states are using to deny coverage.#WKUSocialWorkPolicy

[Amy Maggard Harper @StackHollow]

Value all human well-being and stand with NASW. Support health care that ensures access to health services for all people. Support Universal Health Care for All. ALSO, HELP UKRAINE NOW, BELOW. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
