As this webinar explores the intersectionality of race, culture, gender expression, health justice, community economics, immigration status, spirituality, and more, the presenter will provide actionable steps for professionals and students to empower their communities and clients’ political advocacy while amplifying their own voices.

This 2-hour live virtual workshop will be a blend of PowerPoint lecture, reflective exercises and small group discussion where participants will have the opportunity to engage and exercise their clinical skills while catalyzing their political advocacy and focus on social justice. Participants will develop a safe space through community contracting, gain insight into the importance of political agency, and will complete the program with tools for engaging in political advocacy in social work practice and in their individual experiences.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify their evolving identities in relation to the client, community and environment around political agency
• Identify at least one (1) strategy to empower clients toward political advocacy in their communities
• Identify at least one (1) strategy to exercise political agency as a social work practitioner
