  • Tell President Biden to Eliminate Student Debt for Public Service Workers

    Social Workers have played an essential role and served on the frontlines during COVID and have been denied Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).  Now is the time to share your story and tell President Biden to eliminate student debt for dedicated public service workers.
  • Calling all social workers: Contact your lawmakers in Congress

    Last week, NASW hosted a virtual Social Work Advocacy Day where social workers met with nearly 200 members of Congress and their staff to promote the Improving Access to Mental Health Act, the Community-Based Response Act, the For the People Act and permanent extension of telehealth flexibilities. To build momentum from Social Work Advocacy Day, we ask that social workers email and call their lawmakers and ask them to cosponsor priority legislation. Learn more and review talking points.
