@PeytonWashingt4 It is disappointing that there are so many bills being introduced to further silence movements that are fighting for equity. I totally agree that we need to know our rights as well as help others learn theirs! #susocialwork

Our country was built on a protest and here we are hundreds of years later trying to censor the very acts our forefathers fought for. Know your rights and fight for what you believe in. #susocialwork
ACLU@ACLU
In the past year, more than 90 anti-protest bills have been introduced across the country. These bills are anti-democratic.

@Caitlin_MSW2020 I totally agree with you Caitlin! Or they ignore that the most dangerous time for victims and their families is when they try to leave their abusers. #susocialwork

Because people like to find excuses to victim blame instead of holding the perpetrator accountable.

@jbjones10391 As hard as the pandemic has been on services, and individuals, I have seen more agencies begin to learn and utilize teleworking and virtual services which may be more helpful to clients in the long run. #susocialwork

An article showing just how impactful the pandemic has been on mental health, for both professionals and patients. #SUsocialwork cbsnews.com/news/mental-he…

@Caitlin_MSW2020 Hopefully they can get more staff actively invested in the program to ensure proper care is provided to those in need. Love the movement though. #susocialwork

This is a good idea but definitely should not be rushed. Social workers and EMS should receive adequate training before the mayor moves to make this program "city wide". But I would even be ok if police came along. MD should look into this.

An interesting read about how focusing on assault weapon bans may actually be undermining the efforts to lower incidents of gun related deaths. #susocialwork nytimes.com/2021/04/08/opi…

@jnguye67 Holding officers more accountable is definitely a step in the right direction. I hope that policies continue to be put into place that will change the status quo that is currently in place. #susocialwork

So many of these so call “mistakes” keeps happening. There must be a better and stricter policy in place for when a police officer can actively fire. Hopefully the young man survives 🙏🏻 #SUSocialWork

Authorities in Virginia have released body camera video of a deputy shooting a Black man who was calling 911 on a house phone; the man had just received a ride home by the same law enforcement officer. nbcnews.to/3nhoncR (Warning: Video is included at the top of the article)

@MrsKadyLady This is awesome. It seems like a great opportunity for students who may not be comfortable reaching out to the adults in their schools. #susocialwork

Peer lead groups are an excellent method of person centered care. People hold knowledge that often goes unrecognized and is untapped. Peer lead groups can unleash that information. #SUsocialwork

In a society that pushes the narrative that you need a college education to be successful there should be more opportunities for all students #susocialwork
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders
In the wealthiest country in the history of the world, a higher education should be a right for all, not a privilege for the few. If we are going to have the kind of standard of living that the American people deserve, we need to have the best educated workforce in the world.

@BeauchampRylee I totally agree. I think the pandemic has shown a lot of areas where policies do not match up with meeting needs of individuals. Social workers have such an important role of exploring issues and advocating for change. #susocialwork

What an interesting article to read 😁 #SUsocialwork socialworker.com/feature-articl…

@AnnieBennett_SU This looks like a super easy to follow tool for clients. Being able to see the plan as they help create it and also to be able to refer back to when needed can be so helpful! #susocialwork

There are clear issues when peaceful demonstrations are considered disrespectful but officers overstepping their roles and using excessive force is defended. #susocialwork

@MollyFields_SU Things have not been working. I'm hopeful for new ideas to bring about great change.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott speaking on police reform. Baltimore City has a negative history when examining police misconduct- it is great to see change happening in local legislation. #SUsocialwork
"Velshi" on MS NOW@VelshiMSNOW
Sweeping police reform has passed in the Maryland legislature. Baltimore’s @MayorBMScott says he has to reimagine the city’s police force. “Being a Black man in this country is exhausting...We know we can do other things." #velshi ow.ly/xorI50ElLMY

@jbjones10391 So many issues with the higher education system especially for students of color. I think this article also can help when addressing high school students who are graduating to think through college costs, scholarship options, and make the best decisions for them.

I found this article super interesting, and addresses some of them underlying issues with the higher education system. #SUsocialwork washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…

@Jlynne2020 She is awesome! I love that one of her motivations is to become someone that kids can look up to. What a strong advocate for what an individual can do with the right skills and motivations!

This is awesome ! It reminds me of the excerpt we recently read for our assignment. Having a spokesperson who is living the life of what they’re advocating for.

@Caitlin_MSW2020 This seem's great. Connected individuals with services in their communities to help the transition back to civilian life go more smoothly is a great step towards helping families get back on track after incarceration.

This goes along with our final project. I'm not sure how I feel about the pre-release center being in baltimore city though. #SUsocialwork

An interesting read on how a profession that strives for equality still has lots of work to do within the profession. #susocialwork communitycare.co.uk/2020/12/03/pro…

@TFaison1 @MrsKadyLady It definitely is mind boggling. I think a lot of people are unaware that poverty is not something that is as easy as SNAP to solve. Without access to groceries and other basic needs how are people to rise up?
English
@MrsKadyLady This is an interesting read! I’ve never heard of the term food deserts, and to think that these people don’t have easy access to adequate grocery stores is mind boggling. #Susocialwork
English
Access to safe food/water is a hallmark of a community's survival. Food deserts have persisted when food/materials/labor costs outpac the ability for independent grocers to survive. With public policy advocacy, we can be the change needed. #SUsocialwork

@AnnieBennett_SU This pandemic has definitely been an eye opener in many fields/ businesses. Public education on what to report, how to report, what reporting will look like is needed.
