The issue of racism, racial disparities and
police treatment of individuals who come under their watch is a highly relevant
issue. On Thursday, July 16th at noon, NASW will hold a lunchtime Twitter chat to discuss how the association and social workers are working
to address racism in the United States, especially after the June 17th mass
shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. The
chat will feature NASW South Carolina Executive Director Carla Damron, MSW,
ACSW, and NASW Social Justice and Human Rights Manager Mel Wilson, MBA, LCSWC.
Damron and Wilson will discuss how social workers in South Carolina responded to
the shooting and what NASW is doing on a national level to address racism. We
also want to hear what social workers are doing in their communities. Use the
hashtag #stopracism to join the Twitter
conversation. We hope you can join!
