Essentials to survive: Jesus, coffee, a good book. Wholly consumed, daily revived, timelessly captivated, living to thrive.

@tayjaramillo2 @aaugustineUB This is a great idea! And doesn't sound to tedious to implement. #macroSW

@ally_pettit17 @poliSW Our responsibility to the Code of Ethics, particularly the dignity and worth of all human beings, should be just as real inside the workplace as outside the workplace! I think this, too, ties back to you previous thoughts on relationships. SO good. #macroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@wesleyanne56 @abby_vanderlaan I also love the shared vision in this. What a powerful task to tackle together and come back to time and time again as weariness and defeat (or even success!) might set in. #macroSW

Q3 When your team feels more like a family, so much of everything else falls into place. I think organizations need to invest in moral and team building and healthy conversations #macrosw

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@JaclynP19 Yes and amen! #macroSW

Pass the Mic with Jemar Tisby https://t.co/gXzduDe9Wu #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

This Podcast has been really foundational in my development in learning how to "pass the mic" to marginalized people groups. I've benefitted so much for their perspective as I grow in hearing the voices and "giving" a voice to others. #macrosw

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@CaitlinRedmon11 @poliSW This is great. We really do need to make the space for collaboration to take place. We need to intentionally invite others to the table and then be conscious about giving them the mic. #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@wesleyanne56 @mariahsocwork @poliSW This looks like an awesome article, Wesley. #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@deisy_almodovar I think this goes hand and hand with our responsibility to empower others to believe they HAVE a voice and their voice matters. #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

Q2. I think this is incredibly important - that the people within an organization feel like they have a voice. I think forming smaller teams or intentionally scheduling meetings where authentic conversations is the goal #macrosw

@plantingseeds13 A1. It's not a responsibility. It's an ethical duty. It's a part of the social work code of ethics to advocate on behalf of the individual and communities we serve. #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@abby_vanderlaan @KelseyBoyleSW This is a great thought - we all bring such unique perspectives to the table. We really do need each other, even if it might be in conflict or confrontation. #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@ally_pettit17 @poliSW Love this emphasis on doing what we're asking others to do, Ally! Plus you never know when advocating for yourself might work! ;) #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

#macrosw Q1. Although it might be hard at times, I think it is absolutely necessary to advocate in the work place. One of our foundational values is social justice, and we need to cling to that and be a voice when something isn't right.

Hi! I'm Lindsey, a BSW student from Northwestern College. Excited to hear everyone's thoughts tonight! #macrosw

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@mmkenney6268 But only if the action is well-thought out and takes into consideration the thoughts and ideas of those it directly effects. Sometimes we move so quickly in order to "get it done" that we do more harm than good. #MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

Yes! #MacroSW

A4. Go to the grassroots level to hear and feel issues from the ground. Network, express interest, sincerely ask questions and listen. Join or community boards that have decision making and policy changing implications. Link locally, network legislatively.#MacroSW

[Lindsey Kuipers @liswier]

@JoAnnRosalesBa1 It really is about who you know! It's so good to make connections so that you can turn to those connections when you have something important to advocate for. #MacroSW
