I’m Partnering with #MacroSW

February 18, 2016

I am happy to announce that I will be partnering with MacroSW: where Macro Social Workers come to connect.

“We are a collaboration of social workers, organizations, social work schools, and individuals working to promote macro social work practice.

Macro social work practice focuses on changing larger systems, such as communities and organizations. It encompasses a broad spectrum of actions and ideas, ranging from community organizing and education to legislative advocacy and policy analysis.”

We host weekly twitter chats about a variety of topics of interest and importance to Macro Social Work Practice, using #MacroSW

I'm a macro social worker, social justice educator, and consultant who uses media and education to advance equity and social justice within people, organizations, and communities. I am also the Founder, Host, Editor and Producer of Social Justice Origin Stories, a storytelling project that highlights the personal stories and defining moments that have inspired individuals and organizations to labor for equity and social justice. I started Social Justice Origin Stories because I believe in the power of storytelling and making our experiences accessible to others, because I believe in the liberatory effects of social justice education, to support justice-seekers in finding community and feeling less alone given the relentlessness of oppressive systems, and hopefully to be a resource of support and reflection for those who are thinking through how they could best contribute to the work. We need all who can, to do what they can.
