Update: Transcript from chat here.

The always insightful Melinda Lewis, LMSW will return to Social Work Chats on Monday May 20th to discuss political advocacy in social work.

In addition to teaching policy at the University of Kansas, Melinda works as a consultant and lobbyist.  She runs a wonderful blog, Classroom to Capitol, which serves as an excellent source for information about community practice social work.

Back in January Melinda was our guest for a discussion about comprehensive immigration reform, a topic she is an expert on.  You can read more about the chat here.

Social Work Chats will take place on Twitter Monday at 8 PM Eastern Standard Time.  Use hashtag #swunited to participate in the discussion.  In preparation for the chat I have compiled a list of articles and websites related to political advocacy in social work.  You can find the links below.
