Social Policy

One of the things that I tell practicing social workers and students is that in this profession, one of your best weapons is your voice. In other words, being vocally active and voting on issues that directly impact the clients and communities that you serve. This year with the midterm elections there were issues that different candidates supported or opposed.

Where there any amendments or issues that were voted on in your state and/or city that directly impacts the clients that you might serve? What was the issue. How does this issue impact diversity and social justice as a social worker?
