Political Action for Candidate Election (PACE)
Political Action for Candidate
Election (PACE) is the political action arm of the National Association
of Social Workers (NASW) on the federal and state level. PACE endorses
and financially contributes to candidates who support NASW’s policy
agenda.
NASW-NY PACE endorses and contributes to state and local
candidates for elected office. NASW-NY PACE is responsible for working
collaboratively with the state chapter to guide the process of
endorsements, raise and distribute funds for political action, and
mobilizing social workers to vote by informing members of which
candidates have been endorsed. Contributions to NASW-NY PACE are used
to support state and local candidates who support NASW-NY’s policy
agenda.
NY PACE is committed to endorsing candidates from all political
parties who are running for elected office within the state of New York, regardless of political affiliation. Our objective is to ensure that the
endorsement process is rooted in evaluating the candidate's record,
their application for endorsement, their level of community involvement,
and, most importantly, whether their actions and values align with the
core values of the social work profession.
