Social Workers Advocate Fall 2025

Action for Justice

In fall semester 2025, Advanced Macropractice students advocated for change in the world. Undertaking social justice work requires us to learn, to connect, to seek change, and to be committed to extending justice, especially to the groups for whom justice has been too long denied.

These projects show the vision, connections, commitments of these social workers.

Organizing is both science and art. It is thinking through a vision, a strategy, and then figuring out who your targets are, always being concerned about power, always being concerned about how you’re going to actually build power in order to be able to push your issues, in order to be able to get the target to actually move in the way that you want to.
