@andreaegangs.bsky.socialReposted by @jwgoudriaan.bsky.socialSocial work is valuable work. It is also emotionally intense, challenging, and sometimes exhausting. That's why it's important social workers know their rights and are prepared to defend them collectively. I was proud to speak at the UNISON's social work seminar yesterday.

@voices4justice.bsky.socialReposted by @jwgoudriaan.bsky.socialShe is also speaking out because she believes that her entreaties to global leaders are increasingly falling on deaf ears.

By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.
@unisonbarnsley.bsky.socialReposted by @jwgoudriaan.bsky.socialThis World Mental Health Day, we're reminding ourselves that mental health is just as important as physical health. Taking time to talk, check in with others, ask for support, or simply take a break can make a real difference. No one should feel like they have to struggle alone.
