Join Us for Social Workers Unite: Responding to the Los Angeles Fire

The Los Angeles fires have left many in urgent need of support, and as social workers, our role is vital. This town hall is a call to action for social workers to unite, share resources, and discuss how we can collectively make an impact during this crisis.

During this session, we will:

• Highlight the current needs and challenges in affected communities.
• Discuss ways social workers can provide services or volunteer support.
• Share resources and strategies to assist individuals and families impacted by the fires.

Let’s come together to turn compassion into action. Register now to join the conversation and make a difference.

NASW-CA is thrilled to invite you to Social Work LEAD, our Legislative Education and Advocacy Day (LEAD) designed for social work professionals! Save the date for this virtual event on Thursday, January 23, 2025, where social workers throughout the state of California will learn about legislative advocacy and join NASW-CA in continuing our lobbying efforts for state-level policy change. Participants will earn up to 5.5 CEUs.

This year, our main priority is to lobby support for the Social Work Licensure Compact, a crucial initiative aimed at increasing licensing mobility for social workers nationwide.

Join us for:

• Engaging discussions, including the NASW-CA’s advocacy platform and how to continue to be involved and engaged year-round
• Networking opportunities with fellow social work professionals throughout California
• Training on macro social work, influencing policy, lobbying for state-level policy change, and advocating for issues that matter to our field

* Capacity for this event will be limited, so register and mark your calendars to join NASW-CA in continuing to advance change. The registration deadline is Friday, January 17, 2025. *

As an attendee of this event, you will have the opportunity to meet virtually via Zoom with a priority legislator and/or their staff for approximately 15–30 minutes on the afternoon of Thursday, January 23rd. Appointments are still being confirmed.
