This article articulates a reinvigorated vision for social workers to be elected and appointed to serve in public office and an array of strategies to achieve this vision. Coupling the current and divisive political climate with the pressing inequities of marginalized populations, an urgent imperative exists for social workers to 're-envision' and expand their macro practice options more deliberatively by serving in public office. Included in thi…

Specific strategies of advocacy, as …

A secondary analysis, using regression and correlation, was conducted using data from a 2003 random sample of 294 social workers. The results suggest that social workers with stronger religious/spiritual affiliations had less support for lesbian and gay rights legislation and abortion rights. Those who were more conservative in p…

This article explores relationships between social workers' political ideologies and the effects on practice. Self-administered surveys from 294 licensed social workers in a mid-Atlantic state generated quantitative and qualitative data on whether and to what extent their ideologies influenced professional practice. Findings suggest that while social workers largely believe that their political ideology is separate from their practice, those who …
