Any individual, regardless of where they work, should feel empowered enough to speak out against unfair treatment. How can social workers continue to fight for this cause? #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502
The top five industries with the most charges of sexual harassment filed are manufacturing, health care, retail, public administration, and food services. No matter who you are or where you work—you should be treated fairly and with dignity. #BeHEARD

Let’s look at the facts. Importation is dangerous, would save patients very little if anything & the US government and Canadian government have both sounded the alarm over such proposals in the past. Read more: https://t.co/M7dlkZD0Q0
I love the connection in this post between equal pay and sports!! It shows how this issue can be connected to almost anything?! How does equal pay relate to YOU? #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502
As @USWNT continues to play hard for a shot at this summer’s World Cup, we must work to make sure they receive equal pay. I joined @SenFeinstein and @PattyMurray in a letter to the U.S. Soccer Federation calling on them to ensure these women athletes receive pay equity.
I wonder how often suicide could be prevented if the stigma was reduced? What role does this play with those who are struggling? How can social workers help with this issue? #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502
Tragic. Another parkland victim. Sydney Aiello took her own life.
She struggled with survivor's guilt and was diagnosed with PTSD in the year following the tragedy.
She struggled to attend college classes because she was scared of being in a classroom. https://t.co/bhaMwUI34W
Affordable housing is such a major issue in this country! It would be nice to establish this as a crisis just as other crises have been identified nationally over the past several decades! How can social workers fight this issue? #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502
We're glad to have strong new partners in this fight to make housing more affordable for families & start to tackle the racial wealth gap caused by decades of housing discrimination. @RepRichmond, @RepPressley, @RepRashida & I know that change can’t wait. https://t.co/TrmeufEUg3
We constantly discuss how social workers can impact US citizens, but what about citizens overseas? What can we do to help those facing these kinds of issues? #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502

This is a great example of the importance of prevention programs in our country today. Regardless of your stance on vaccinating, there’s no argument in recognizing the positive aspects of this program! #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502
The Vaccines for Children Program is a great example of investing in prevention. For 25 years now it has helped kids in low income families get shots at no cost. It has saved $1.6T, prevented 380M illnesses, & saved 860,000 lives—that’s more people than the population of Seattle.
Social workers on all levels, especially the macro level, have an important role in supporting survivors of all different experiences and situations. How can this support continue to be implemented? #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502
It’s amazing to see how we have grown since Brown vs. BOE..but how far do we still have to go in terms of equal rights? What roles do Social Workers have in this process? #SUSocialWork@bmiller21502
At just six years old—and six years after the Brown v. Board of Education SCOTUS decision declared school segregation unconstitutional—Ruby Bridges opened new doors for Black students by becoming the 1st Black child to attend a white school in the Southern US. #BlackHistoryMonth
