News from our national office
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is deeply disappointed and troubled by President Trump's Executive Order on Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping. The order distorts our nation’s history and broadly understood concepts such as “systemic racism” and “White privilege." And it is a thinly veiled attempt by Trump to stoke racial division in an already fractured country for his own political purpose. Read our full statement: https://bit.ly/3j4njGn
Advocacy at NASW
"One of the most frequently asked questions from NASW
members is, “What is NASW doing to advocate for social
