@austinbweiler What a great resource this is! Sustainable housing is so important. I’m glad we are taking steps in this direction. Go Lexington!

Sending so much love and prayers to the family of George Floyd tonight. ❤️ We must keep fighting.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

That a family had to lose a son, brother and father; that a teenage girl had to film and post a murder, that millions across the country had to organize and march just for George Floyd to be seen and valued is not justice.

And this verdict is not a substitute for policy change.

@CallieFuller20 Bullying can have so many detrimental consequences. We have to fight for LGBTQ youth so they can feel safe and be themselves in school. I support the NASW and their advocacy.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

This is unacceptable. As social workers we have to fight for the rights of our LGBTQ+ communities. The NASW advocates for the dignity and worth of ALL people. We have to keep fighting! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

UPDATE: April 16 update in the United States:
- 306 anti-LGBTQ bills total
- 140 bills targeting transgender people
- 68 bills attempting to keep trans kids out of sports
- 39 bills attempting to ban healthcare for trans people

KEEP FIGHTING!

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

@EmileeNealy I too am against this bill. We have to challenge these oppressors. The NASW advocates for equality and social justice. This bill goes against what we as social workers stand for!

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

@whitney_byler It is important that we work to fight the inequalities that are happening in our country. This is one of many steps that need to be taken.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

Immigrants make up 3.6% of the population of KY, yet they are still profiled and discriminated against based of where they are from. SWS promotes social justice and avoiding racism, discrimination, and profiling.

@ccprater1 The aging population is at risk of so many types of fraud and neglect. It is important that we can bring awareness and educate those around us to these signs. I support the NASW and value the dignity and worth of these individuals.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

@lauren_wkumsw We need to bring awareness to elder abuse and the long lasting mental health concerns that this can cause. Thank you for bringing awareness to this area of abuse.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

At least 10% of adults aged 60 or older will experience some form of elder abuse in a given year. The NASW supports the Elder Justice Act and the prevention of abuse, neglect and exploitation. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@TopperTim11 Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are raising in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its important that we stay aware of these changes and how we can effectively help

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

@ClaireP16551385 It’s so important that the needs of children in foster care are met the best possible way by exploring options such as fictive kin.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

HB 492 aims to help children in the foster care system have a easier transition into fictive kin care. The NASW values the importance of human relationships and this bill will help to maintain and enhance these relationships. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Brad Hughes @GYMObrad]

House sends to Senate bill designed to improve Kentucky child welfare system, ease the transition as children are placed with relatives and other fictive kin caregivers, create financial incentives https://t.co/6Yxksvhiz6

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

@CallieFuller20 Telehealth services have proved to be essential in the past year. Telehealth can improve access to so many people including those who live in rural areas, and people who do not have transportation for face to face services. I support the NASW's statement.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

@ClaireP16551385 Being competent and aware of mental health is so important, especially in a time like we are in. There has been such an increase in mental health issues since the beginning of COVID-19. We need to break the stigma now more than ever.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

According the Centers for Disease Control 7.1% of children aged 3-17 years have diagnosed anxiety. That is approximately 4.4 million children. The NASW supports destigmatizing and maximizing early identification and treatment of mental illness.

@Dreaka_3 It is important for people with these conditions to have the coverage and protections that they need. The NASW fights for the dignity and worth of every person.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

@CallieFuller20 Having proper care is critical for those with diabetes. The NASW does not support this. We need to continue to fight to give them the proper resources.

[Kimberly Davidson @kim19982012]

More than 13% of people in Kentucky have diabetes. That is 474,000 people according to The Kentucky Department of Public Health. Kentuckians should not have to ration their insulin. The NASW works to challenge injustices like this one.#WKUsocialworkpolicy

Imagine having the ganas to go home and ask minimum wage workers to support you after going back on your own documented stance to help crush their biggest chance at a wage hike during their longest drought of wage increases since the law’s very inception. Sin vergüenza.
