Social Work Votes
Tax deductible
As a society, we currently face immense challenges, most notably the global epidemics of COVID and anti-Black racism. These issues will remain front-and-center as social workers continue to do their best to support their clients and organizations in their journeys to reach maximum wellness. Social workers understand from long experience that the key obstacles to social welfare are structural and systemic, enacted through social and economic policy. They see the results of problematic policies every day. They recognize that policies must change. The route to better policy is through better government. Our campaign hopes to ensure accurate information and resources to folks in communities in which we serve. Through our podcast, website, and social media, we aim to disseminate ideas and tool-kits, as well as provide tangible opportunities for individuals and community members in the field to get involved with civic engagement.
To put it simply, Social Work is democracy in constant motion, and one of the best ways to support the communities we serve in the fight for social justice is through voting.
Funds raised for the Social Work Votes campaign will be used in two ways:
+ Support and maintain our Social Work Votes website
+ Edit, distribute, and maintain our podcast
