From getting social workers and our allies elected to fighting for policy changes, we are working harder than ever to stand up for Pennsylvania social workers. Learn more about our legislative priorities, election activities, and more below.

Legislative Priorities

Our policy priorities are reflective of social work values with the commitment to racial justice, diversity, equity and inclusion. Learn more about what NASW-PA has identified as our current policy priorities.

Legislative Education & Advocacy Day

Legislative Education and Advocacy Day (LEAD) is an annual event hosted by NASW-PA at which nearly 1,000 social work students and professionals gather to advocate for legislation that is relevant to the social work profession. Attendees visit their legislators throughout the day and tell them why such legislation is important and how it will serve the Commonwealth.

NASW-PA PACE

NASW-PA PACE (Political Action for Candidate Election) is the political fundraising and campaigning arm of NASW-PA. Through NASW-PA PACE, we work to engage social workers in political action, builds relationships between social workers and soon-to-be elected officials, and more.
