Breonna Taylor should be celebrating her birthday today.

Let's honor her life today, and every day and continue to call for #JusticeforBre. She was essential and her family needed her.

@louisvillemayor, fire the officers now! Dial Fischer at 844-298-2731.

Now that charges have been filed against all of the killer cops for George's death.

@MayorFrey, you must hold the entire MPD accountable and defund them. Invest in thriving communities, not killer cops! #DefundtheMPD

#macrosw @karenzgoda Thanks for inviting us to participate in this incredibly important conversation about #immigration

[Kyla Shine @KylaShine1]

@karenzgoda A5: I think just by promoting awareness via social media, getting more involved in protests and getting comfortable with sitting in city meetings is a way to get more involved and promote change.The fear to be more involved needs to be let go.This is for a bigger purpose #MacroSW

[Martha L Vallejo @mvallejo0213]

A5: Finally, it’s important to advocate both for and with immigrants in this social justice and #MacroSW fight. Social work is about empowerment. Listen to and share (if appropriate) individuals’ and families’ stories, from the news or any personal interactions you have #MacroSW

[Katie DeRose @KatieMSDeRose]

Thank you @UBSSW for making students read this informative and interesting text!

A5: One way is to read Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen by Jose Antonio Vargas. I did not know much about immigration policies that were happening in our country. It can be useful to understand and be aware of the type of situations, fears, and struggles. #MacroSW

@karenzgoda A4. The longer the family detentions the higher risks occur on the health of the individual. Marks are being left on developing brains, feelings of hopelessness, and senses of time with valid research. Immigrants are set back further in these institutionalized systems #MacroSW

[Katie DeRose @KatieMSDeRose]

@karenzgoda @LauraSanthanam @NewsHour A4: This is detrimental. No interactions, care, support, or proper developmental skills decreases a child’s physical and mental state. Growing up, they may face difficulties with attachment and possible trusting issues which can lead to other mental health issues. #MacroSW

[Katie DeRose @KatieMSDeRose]

@mvallejo0213 This is honestly sickening to me, and makes me so disappointed things like this are happening in our country. #MacroSW

@karenzgoda A2c: Immigrant welfare = social welfare. Undocumented immigrants pay $12B in taxes/yr. 62% have been here 10+ yrs. When govt. cuts service eligibility, it impacts SW jobs/pay. Asylum-seekers esp. need our trauma-informed lens. When immigrants suffer, we all suffer. #MacroSW

[Katie DeRose @KatieMSDeRose]

@SocialPsychA @karenzgoda So many people are so unaware about these facts. This is so important for everyone to know and truly understand! #MacroSW

[Vicki Rosenthal Art @VRosenthal_Art]

As social workers, we should all be advocating for the inhumane treatment of immigrants. We are all human. We all deserve and expect the same rights. Social workers need to be in the forefront of this issue. It's why we are social workers! #macrosw

[Katie DeRose @KatieMSDeRose]

@karenzgoda A2: As every social worker may have a different view or lens. It is important because immigrants need to feel welcomed in our country and receive nonjudgmental help. It is important to know what kind of services and care we can offer. #MacroSW
