Social workers are advocates and change agents. Today we stand with our colleagues from around the nation in a call to action for police reform.

This webinar is Part 2 of the NASW-NJ / NASW-NYC Call to Action: A Virtual Advocacy Campaign on July 28-29.
NASW-NYS is gathering data on how racial injustice is expressed in various systems and structures (e.g. schools, health care, etc.). What do we do as social workers? This can help guide the legislative agenda for some of the subgroups.
The formal legislative session in Massachusetts ends July 31, 2020. On July 17, we began our #15DaysofAdvocacy campaign, a countdown to the end of formal session. Each day we are sharing advocacy opportunities you can take to get NASW-MA priority bills over the finish line.
Our identity as social workers calls us to action. It calls us to lean in, use our unique skills and lead difficult dialogues that create change. Now more than ever, our code of ethics and values call us to action.
