"Hope is a song in a weary throat, a light that never dims even when the path ahead seems impossible. It's the strength to sing when your voice trembles, to believe in justice when injustice
surrounds you, and to push forward when the weight of oppression feels unbearable.
Hope is the foundation of every movement for change, the melody that carries us through the darkest nights and into the dawn of a
better tomorrow."
-Anna Pauline "Pauli" Murray(1910-1985)

Choosing yourself is a form of kindness.

Alysa Liu stepped away from competitive skating when she needed space, and later returned on her own terms. A quiet reminder that taking care of yourself doesn’t close doors.

Sometimes self-kindness looks like pausing.
Honoring your own rhythm.
Knowing the story is still unfolding, exactly as it should. 💙

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) released its proposed rule from the Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) Committee. One component of the rule relates to student loan limits for professional and graduate programs. Graduate programs have lower student loan limits than professional programs. The ED designates social work as a graduate program for purposes of student loan limits. is preparing comments to the ED challenging this rule and will provide sample comments for social workers in the coming weeks through our Advocacy Listserv at https://www.socialworkers.org/Advocacy/Action-Center. In the meantime, you can sign our petition to the ED https://www.votervoice.net/NASW/Petitions/6290/Respond
