Social Work Blog: Social Justice Solutions

We'll spotlight blogs here from time to time.  Here's a regular posting social work blog worth first attention: Social Justice SolutionsThis is from their About Us page:
Mission
Social Justice Solutions is a forum to promote the exploration of social welfare policy, and social work practice.  In addition, by unifying social workers, SJS will create the foundation needed to promote social workers for public office. Using the NASW Code of Ethics as our guiding principle, we will help keep the Social Work profession informed and connected to the needs of the public we serve.
Vision
We envision a world where political offices are held by social workers who are committed to empowering and bettering the lives of their constituents, no matter the platform or political affiliation. We see a time when the culture of our society focuses more on unity and commonalities  rather than our differences.
