F24 Daniel Thursz Social Justice Event

ACTIVATE Your Voice

 Transit, One Fair Wage, and Pay for Placement Campaigns 
An Election Tuesday Event

Why does your vote matter? How do we continue advocacy before, during, and after election cycles? The Thursz Social Justice Lecture continues its Election Tuesday series by focusing on areas that matter to our school and to the people of Baltimore and Maryland: transportation equity, fair wages for all workers, and paid field placement for own social work students. We invite advocates in each of these areas to share the goals that they are trying to accomplish and why they matter. They will explain what role elections play in
moving these issues forward and what other advocacy work helps to carry these through. Finally, they will share how social workers and what other concerned individuals can do to contribute to improve
transportation, wages, and compensation for field placements.
