@DeniseC60549423 @CNN Times have changed and society/rules need to change with it. She deserves the recognition for her accomplishment! #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@GraceWood95 Yes! The start to reducing the stigma around mental health is having people talk about it, and people with power that have lots of people listening should continue to be open about it! #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

Prisoners still have basic human rights. This is horrible and definitely not okay. #SUSocialWork

[pdx law grrrl @pdxlawgrrrl]

A mentally ill woman gave birth alone in a Florida jail cell. “Just imagine going through the trauma of delivering a baby, screaming for help, people are within earshot, and no one comes to your aid from 4 a.m., when the contractions start, until 10 a.m.” https://t.co/Nhg8Qpi4sp

@ccohenSOWK Agreed. I have heard stories of people going days without it, but everyone has the right to live and these drug prices are violating people with diabetes’ human right to just be able to live and be healthy. #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@MonekkaDavis I agree. Feminism means equality, not treating women better than men. While the gender pay gap is something that should be worked towards, I don’t believe this act of ‘reverse sexism’ is the way to work towards fixing this problem. #SUSocialWork

Wow. “At least 63 unintentional shootings by children have resulted in death or injury in 2019 alone”, but only a few states make it a law that gun owners with children in the house have to lock their guns up. Thoughts? #SUSocialWork

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Only 3 states and Washington, D.C., currently impose criminal liability on a gun owner for failure to store the gun safely when a child may gain access to it https://t.co/jjebvH1ntB

@VernitaBeach27 “Women are more stressed than men, many of them managing both the family and work. They do not feel supported enough by their employers” workplace wellness is so important and should be incorporated at every workplace! #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@MeganFultonSU Yes! Emotions are important and should not be feared or looked down upon. This is true especially for men/boys in today’s society where they are told to suppress their emotions. All emotions are important and should be felt and understood fully! #susocialwork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

This is an interesting-important read. Bernie’s ‘Medicare for all’ proposal could have some devastating consequences that should definitely be understood and considered such as the potential for rural hospitals to close completely or laying off mannnyyy workers. #SUSocialWork

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Private insurers pay hospitals significantly more than Medicare for the same medical treatment. The gap may prove to be the biggest obstacle for advocates of “Medicare for all." https://t.co/yQal4INowg

@socialwork_ally Why are old white men getting to choose what young women can and cant do with their bodies. It sounds like they prefer to have a bunch of babies left uncared for properly. #SUsocialwork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@Kklprice @MonekkaDavis The first year is such an important time for babies to form attachments with their caregivers, and these attachments can impact the child for the rest of it’s life- maternity leave should be given much more importance and attention than it is in the USA. #SUsocialwork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

How has this not changed- the US is the only country in the developed world to not offer guaranteed paid maternity leave. 0 days. Check out this article to see a chart comparing countries’ paid leave (some offer over 150 weeks!) #SUSocialWork

[GU Women & Peace @giwps]

The United States is the only industrialized country that does not offer paid maternity leave for mothers. https://t.co/JvDZQnkuqa

This man was outed as transgender and then fired from his job after being discriminated against by coworkers for months. Everyone should have the human right to a job and to feel safe at work. #SUsocialwork

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

"I was living the American Dream. All of that was stripped from me in seconds."

Carter Brown was fired from his job after being outed as transgender. He continues to advocate for the #EqualityAct to protect him & countless other LGBTQ people from discrimination in the workplace.

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@cristinadsu Yes! Parents, teachers, social workers, and peers need to keep a look out for the signs of bullying, depression and anxiety. Don’t be scared to ask someone how they are feeling- it may be just what they need! #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@KathrineMangold This is awful. It’s important to look out for each other. Those that are not afraid to speak up when you see something, please do speak up. You could save lives! #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@BetterlyAshley Agreed! And does he have no sympathy? I mean why shut them out to die or live in horrible conditions when another solution is to help mexico become safer or let them in until it’s safe enough to go back? #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@angelk1919 @CBSSports I’m glad that someone is giving women a chance in this sector! I hope other people realize women’s potentials and start doing the same! #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

Deemed unconsititutional because girls are being treated differently than boys. I’m glad someone fought for these girls, now there is a pecedent for other schools to fight too! #SUSocialWork

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Girls were forced to wear skirts at school to "preserve chivalry." So they sued — and won. https://t.co/9ed9BuZrh2

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@MonekkaDavis It’s awful that this mom still viewed it that way, likely because of her culture and background, but I’m so happy to see that this rallied people around the subject and they were educating people on the objectification of women. #SUSocialWork

[Colleen Snitzer @CS_SocialWork]

@chinnalliesusw This is so great! It’s such a little thing- to go through airport security, but for some people it has been a huge struggle every time and now this little change can help many people have one less struggle to go through. #SUSocialWork
