Greater Washington Society For Clinical Social Work strongly supports the advocacy being demonstrated by Americans fighting for justice for the African American community. As clinical social workers, it is part of our responsibility to protect vulnerable populations, work for social justice, and guide clients in communicating and experiencing their emotions and beliefs in an effective manner. 

We stand with the African American community in the belief that a systemic change is required to address the racism that is needlessly terrorizing and killing our fellow citizens. 

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
