PLAN TO JOIN US THIS YEAR!
Over 500 Social Workers were part of a record-breaking crowd last year -
We hope you are planning to join us in 2008!
12th Annual Social Work Day at the Capitol:
Monday April 7th, 2008
What is Social Work Day at the Capitol?
Social Work Day at the Capitol is an opportunity for professional social workers, social work students, and social work educators to learn, march and rally together, and - most importantly - lobby our state lawmakers about matters of social policy that affect our clients, our profession, and the citizens of Minnesota. Because we are social workers, our voices must be heard!
