One example of "the power of radical imagination in building transformative solidarity is the movement for disability justice. . .[Success in challenging] the status quo required a multitude of people playing a wide range of roles." Diversify to grow meaningful organization. 3/3

By the 1990s activism shifted "to a shallow, professional and often philanthropically funded model of “advocacy”, one that elevates self-appointed leaders and elite experts to speak on behalf of constituencies to whom they are not directly accountable." #RadicalSocialWork 2/3

Part of what brought us out of that difficulty of the early pandemic days was the expansion of human needs programs like the Child Tax Credit — which cut child poverty nearly in half(!). We still need these programs. Bring back the expanded #ChildTaxCredit. #SOTU2024

#RadicalSocialWork Manifesto (link-bio) "calls for anti-capitalist/ anti-racist/anti-oppressive practice that supports collective action/ collective care/ and economic human rights.[It] implores us to do what we say we do – to be liberatory/emancipatory/building a new world"
