The time is now! We can't wait to expand Medicaid. Sign the letter to Alabama's lawmakers here https://t.co/48eY1P6hUC @CoverAlabama #MedicaidExpansion

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

everyone who cares about AL should take just a few minutes to send Gov Ivey a message about how Medicaid expansion will make our state better for everyone! https://t.co/NSXE6IgOUb

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

Great opportunity for social workers (and all Alabamians) to learn how to decrease poverty in our state.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

When the minimum wage was first passed in 1938, it passed with a racist compromise. To ensure certain votes, legislators agreed to exclude certain industries that employed mostly Black workers. 2021 gives us a chance to build an economy that is more equitable and more resilient.

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

@lakeya_cherry I'm SO in!

@Melissa60783304 Critical Race Theory as our framework when serving and advocating! #macrosw

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

#macrosw A3: critical self-reflection (selves and discipline), seeking out diverse knowledge and expertise, listening to those most impacted by inequity/racism, action (not sitting on the sidelines)

[UBuffalo Social Work @UBSSW]

Question 3: How do we build strategies for future readiness that stay essentially focused on equity and anti-racism? Some of us got our Q2 and Q3 questions mixed up so if you addressed anti-racism in your A2 reply, please retweet! #MacroSW

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

#macrosw A3: social work's future is dependent on making equity and anti-racism central to all we do

@UBSSW A2: 10+ years from now there will be major demographic changes in the US. In addition many current leaders are retiring. I envision a future w/ diverse, equitable leadership. I intend to invest my time now to ensure that w/ the demo shifts we begin to see representation #macrosw

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

#macrosw A2: I hope more engagement with policy, esp at the state level. preparing by learning from those that do it well! @AlabamaArise

[UBuffalo Social Work @UBSSW]

Question 2: How is YOUR PRACTICE likely to shift and become more complex in the future and what are good ways to grow and prepare? #MacroSW

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

#macrosw A1 - connecting with and creating interdisciplinary coalitions

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]

#macrosw A1 To be ready for the future, social work must engage in truth-telling about our past and current; take responsibility and implement reparations for harm; critical self-reflection of where we can/should do more, esp for value of social justice

[Meredith Tetloff @mltetloff]
