Highlights include:
- The Importance of Racial Justice and Liberatory Practice: What We Do and Why We Do It with Shimon Cohen and Charla Cannon Yearwood from Doin’ The Work, which provides education, training, and support to individuals and groups interesting in healing and justice work. Streaming January 26, 12-1:30PM (CST).

This conference supports social workers by challenging us to change our work and root our action in radical conceptions of justice. Through our learning together, we hope that this conference will inspire us all in our work, our organizations, and our society.
