The CDC approved yesterday a plan to give the first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to heath care workers and nursing home residents. If the FDA approves the vaccine, over twenty million Americans could receive doses around December 15th. #SWO332 #2020SWO332

President-elect Joe Biden announced yesterday that he will have an all female senior communications team at the White House. I am glad to see these political changes happening in these uncertain times. Let’s keep it going! #SWO332 #2020SWO332

The Supreme Court is now hearing oral arguments in regards to the 2020 Census. Trump thinks we should not count undocumented people when completing the census, but we have always counted them. He wanted to add a question about documentation, but it did not get approved. #SWO332

With COVID-19 surging, 742,000 Americans filed for unemployment last week which is the first increase of the month. Around 12 million Americans are set to lose their job benefits the day after Christmas if another relief bill is not passed. #SWO332 #2020SWO332

Trump has filed for a recount in two Wisconsin counties. I am confused about why partial recounts are even allowed? He would have a better chance at more votes from incompetence in red counties. It won’t change anything, he just wants to cling to power for a while longer. #SWO332

Take a minute to watch this short video on police budgets in Philadelphia. Pools and recreation centers are good services that need funding. We need to let others voices be heard and allow them to share their opinions with difficult subjects. #SWO332 #2020SWO332

We’re excited to launch our new video series which will highlight why everyday Philadelphians want to #DefundThePolice. LISTEN as Angela Baker explains why we must reduce the police budget to fund schools and rec centers and that if we put funds in the people we’ll see a change.

Yesterday the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could strike down the Affordable Care Act. Getting rid of this would take us back to the time where women would be charged more for healthcare. It has its flaws, but it is a step in the right direction. #SWO332

Well I think we can all say this presidential election is one to remember. Trump has the right to question legal votes, but at some point he must accept defeat. Soon he needs to give the Democratic Party the respect they deserve and provide a peaceful change of power. #SWO332

[Nicole Walker @nicolewalk8]

I am so glad to finally have an answer about this presidential election! We have all been anxiously waiting, but I hope this does not cause Republicans and Trump to fight a battle he clearly lost. Let’s get back on track and continue to create change with new policies. #SWO332

Our current president wants to stop counting mail in ballots, but he will lose if they stop now. Every vote matters because we the American people deserve a free and fair election. We will never see Trump say “COUNT EVERY VOTE.”📨#SWO332 #2020SWO332

[Nicole Walker @nicolewalk8]

I’m wondering why Trump has falsely declared victory as millions of votes have yet to be counted. It seems to be a competitive race right now as mail in ballots are still coming in to be counted. The numbers may change, but as of this moment Biden has 238 electoral votes! #SWO332

[Nicole Walker @nicolewalk8]

This election day, we have the power to choose who will run our country for the next four years. Everything is in jeopardy including our jobs, healthcare, education, and much more. We are more divided than ever and this could change with young voters participation! 👏🏼 #SWO332

@MSNBC just posted Trump’s news about how he expects to see declining coronavirus totals in the next two weeks. This is crazy because just this morning our nation suffered nine million cases and a quarter of a million deaths and it continues to worsen. #2020SWO332 #SWO332

Dropped off my mail in ballot today at my local library. If you haven’t sent in your ballot, please do not send it in the mail because it might not be delivered in time. The easiest thing to do at this point is to put it in a local drop box near you. Every vote counts!🇺🇸#SWO332

The news of Amy Coney Barrett getting approved to be the next Supreme Court justice has hit my heart in a way I cannot explain. The 52-48 Senate vote now gives her power change so many policies that RGB had once created and this will soon affect women, lgbtq & minorities. #SWO332

This is my father’s childhood home that was destroyed in the last hurricane in Louisiana. Many families have lost their homes during this pandemic and I believe the new president should address new policies that could be created to help natural disasters in the future. #SWO332

[Nicole Walker @nicolewalk8]

@MSNBC I think we all need to read this article as future social workers. To summarize, it’s about how Texas social workers can now turn down LGBTQ and disabled clients which is shocking because it is completely unethical. PLEASE READ and share with others!!! #SWO332 #2020SWO332

Former president Barack Obama has announced that he will be coming to Philadelphia on Wednesday to hold a campaign event for Biden. PA is a battleground state for the 2020 election and according to @CBSNews Biden has a six point lead over Trump. GO VOTE! #SWO332 #2020SWO332

[Nicole Walker @nicolewalk8]

One word to describe these two young speakers: INSPIRING! I have learned so much in this one hour session and I am looking forward to attending other powerful presentations that keep me informed on politics as I prepare to vote for the first time. #SWO332 #2020SWO332

[Nicole Walker @nicolewalk8]

This young voter panel discussion is so interesting and directly relates to our social policy class. It’s important to be educated and be pro-active in voting! Thank you to all who shared their opinions today. #SWO332 #2020SWO332
