Opinion Writing as Advocacy!
Opinion writing gives social workers a unique opportunity: to move beyond reaction and into purposeful advocacy.
There are over 28 newspapers/publications you can engage with.
Op-eds- let you frame the conversation, naming both what you oppose and what you support.
Commentaries-connect the moment to our values, showing how social work expertise brings clarity and direction.
Letters to the Editor-keep issues alive in public debate and make sure decision-makers know our communities are paying attention.
