Couldn’t agree more. We need to make this happen. #socialwork #macrosw #mentalhealth #mentalhealthdays

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We can't deny that racial and socioeconomic factors are playing a role in who is being hit the hardest by the virus. It's a reminder for our policymakers to keep our most vulnerable communities at the forefront when making decisions.

was unable to see him due to visitation restrictions. I’m seeing the mental tolls it’s taking on residents of healthcare facilities. The anxiety and feelings of being trapped. But this is necessary to ensure public health. The faster we slow this down, the faster we reunite.

I thank God that my family and friends are all healthy is this time but I’m witnessing firsthand how bad things are. I’m getting calls everyday from patients’ loved ones crying because they can’t their their spouse or parent. A resident recently passed away in hospice but his son

“Is self-quarantine worth the economic and mental hardship?” Public health should be number one. The economy is going to tank anyways if a quarter of the population is dead. And the ones asking these questions don’t seem to care until CoVid-19 is affecting them directly.

Also, when our beloved president says everything is under control and that we have plenty of supplies then turn around and say we need the workforce back to supply ventilators, kinda feel like everything is NOT under control

[Meagan Weems @WeemsMeagan]

I don’t want to hear from an economics major on the “task force” about CoVid-19, I want to hear from licensed healthcare officials that understand what patients and families are going through. How can we be so greedy right now when our people are dying?

Not to put you guys on the spot or anything... @marianamackinn2 @WeemsMeagan @napoleon_andell @samanthajwills6 #MacroSW #SOW3232

[Meagan Weems @WeemsMeagan]

Thank you everyone for such an engaging conversation on a very important topic!! Good night and stay safe! #MacroSW #SOW3232

A9: Advocate. Run for office. Get into politics. Stay educated. ADVOCATE #MacroSW #SOW3232

[Meagan Weems @WeemsMeagan]

@AngelicaMSW Yes! When I saw it was from 2013 I was even angrier than before. It makes you feel hopeless when we haven't moved into a better direction!

[Meagan Weems @WeemsMeagan]

A8: Not sure one word could sum it up. I think it was a mixture of feeling angry, emboldened, and educated #MacroSW

[Alana McFadden @alana_mcfadden]

A6:woo where do you begin? From redlining to environmental racism to a lack of education. From the beginning people of color have to work harder at achieving things no matter if they have the same credentials or not. This can set a person, a family, generations backwards #macrosw

[Meagan Weems @WeemsMeagan]

@NicandroWork Make. A. Change. We're in this together 👊

@coralkalani @JimmySW WE NEED SOCIAL WORKERS IN POLITICS!!! #MacroSW #CSUSMSW

[UBuffalo Social Work @UBSSW]

This! #Inequality succinctly explained. #MacroSW

[👑Adrienne Garr👑 @adriennecgarr]

@nandrew411 @heathermari33 I've seen people work hard their entire lives and all they get is poor health outcomes from the stress. If working hard equated to wealth or a better income there wouldn't be so many people living in poverty in the United States #MacroSW

[Meagan Weems @WeemsMeagan]

A5: I don't think I've ever believed in equal opportunity. There are too many factors of discrimination and privilege that go into everyday decisions to take into account. However, I believe the American Dream is subjective and still true for some #MacroSW

[Meagan Weems @WeemsMeagan]

A4: Currently, American workers are being required to look out for themselves unfortunately. As put in the Inequality for All documentary, everyone should be looking out for the center of our economy: the middle class.
