Dear Social Work Colleagues, DC residents and allies,
We need your HELP! The attached bill is proposing to eliminate the Social Work exam from the licensing process. https://lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/B25-0259
The bill is moving very quickly through the legislative process. The time to advocate is NOW!! We need as many signatures as possible from Social Workers AND District residents. Here’s what we need you to do:
1) Go to Change.org to sign the petition… https://chng.it/SvcRDJZF
2) Read the bill and why Social Workers should oppose the bill.
3) Please share with all of your Social Work colleagues/networks and District residents, text, email and/or post on social media.
4) Encourage them to sign the petition…. https://chng.it/SvcRDJZF
This the first step with more advocacy efforts to come. We can make difference!
