Susie King Taylor is a name you should know. She's recognized as the first Black U.S. Army nurse during the Civil War and worked courageously alongside our founder, Clara Barton. Together, they cared for sick and wounded soldiers — work that helped lay the foundation for the American Red Cross.

Susie was also an educator and author, teaching children and adults how to read while supporting the military. After the war, she opened schools for African Americans in Georgia and became the first Black woman to publish a memoir about her experiences in the war.

As this February marks 100 years of commemorating Black history, we celebrate how Susie’s legacy, bravery and compassion continue to inspire and power our mission.

This , NASW honors the Black social workers who helped build the social work profession — yet whose contributions are too often overlooked. From anti-lynching advocate Ida B. Wells and civil rights icon and former NASW President Whitney M. Young Jr., to reproductive justice leader Naomi Gray and hospice care innovator Dr. Bernice Harper — Black social workers have long led movements for justice and care.

January is National Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month—a time to learn the truth, speak up, and take action.

Human trafficking often begins long before exploitation.
- 87% of youth trafficked for s*x experienced s*xual abuse first.
- Most victims are not abducted—they are targeted through manipulation, coercion, and broken trust.
- Many survivors appear to live “normal” lives, making trafficking easy to miss and hard to stop.

Awareness saves lives. Education creates protection.
This month, commit to learning the signs, sharing the facts, and standing up for those who cannot yet speak for themselves.

Reflecting on the Winter Solstice ❄️

As we welcome the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, let's take a moment to pause and reflect.

It's a time to honor what has ended, and what is quietly waiting to be born. This beautiful image perfectly captures the serene magic of this season—a moment to let go of the old and prepare our hearts for new beginnings.

What are you honoring today, and what new seeds are you planting for the coming year?
