ABOUT SOCIAL WORK VOTES
Social Work Votes is a student-led initiative through Columbia School of Social Work and the Latino Research Institute. Prior to the 2020 election, Social Work Votes mobilized students, faculty, and field agencies to increase civic engagement in communities in New York, as well as “purple” states like Pennsylvania and Florida. Social Work Votes also promotes voting education through social media, and they interview and discuss important topics within the intersection of policy and social work with prominent leaders and activists.
