Social workers can legally and ethically conduct nonpartisan voter engagement as part of their practice. Health and human service workers and organizations can empower clients by equipping them with the resources they need to cast their ballots.
Voting is healthy for individuals and communities. Use these resources for yourself and in your practicum to connect clients and partners to the political process.
This general election, Ohioans will vote on an amendment to the state constitution regarding abortion access and on marijuana legalization. Communities across the state will also be voting in local races for school boards, city councils, and mayors. These offices control policy and spending on everything from school resources to policing and public infrastructure.
Don’t sit this one out.
