Join the NASW-NY Chapter and the Katal Center for Equity, Health, and Justice for a non-partisan Get Out the Vote (GOTV) phone banking event, part of the NASW-NY C.A.R.E.S. Election Series. The event is led by the NASW-NY Policy Team in collaboration with the Katal Center for Equity, Health, and Justice.
With recent threats to voting rights, civic engagement and voter mobilization are more important than ever. In alignment with the NASW Code of Ethics, this non-partisan event gives social workers and students a way to support voter engagement, strengthen communities, and promote participation in the democratic process. Join social workers, students, and community members across New York and the nation to help make sure voters have the information and resources they need.
