What I Stand For
As a social worker, I am bound to & stand for the social work Code of Ethics.
This means I value service, social justice, dignity & worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, competence, and integrity. I have an ethical responsibility not just to my clients, colleagues, and society— but to myself. I will fight for these values today and always, even as fascism rises in the United States.
As a social worker, advocate, and member of the human race, I stand for the following beliefs:
Climate Change is real
Capitalism is destroying our planet.
Free Palestine
All genocide is evil.
All Billionaires are Unethical.
Free Luigi
Housing is a Human Right
Education is a human right.
Healthcare is a Human Right
I stand for universal healthcare.
I advocate for access to mental health treatment.
I advocate for gender & race equity in healthcare settings.
Reproductive Healthcare is a Human Right.
I stand for abortion rights & the right to choose.
As a non-binary queer, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community.
I recognize my privilege as a white person & stand with people of color.
Black Lives Matter
Indigenous Lives Matter
No Justice, No Peace
All Cops are Bastards (ACAB).
“Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. You know what I mean?” - Brennan Lee Mulligan
The USA needs Prison Reform
Private prisons are unethical.
Religious freedom
Not just freedom for Christianity, but all religions: Islam, Hinduism, Wicca, Paganism, etc.
Separation of Church & State.
The right to protest
And, unfortunately, I’m sure there is more…
