Social and Political Action
in the 123rd Maine Legislature


NASW is instrumental in assuring that the values and ethics of our profession are incorporated into pending legislation before the U.S. Congress and in the Maine Legislature. The NASW-Maine Chapter is committed to advancing professional social work practice and to promoting human rights, social and economic justice, and unimpeded access to services for everyone.

The social work profession was founded in social change. Through the profession’s history, social workers have sought to ensure that all people have equal access to the resources and opportunities that allow them to meet their basic needs. The NASW-Maine Chapter upholds this challenge by advocating for the association to Members of Maine Legislature. Each year, the NASW-Maine Chapter develops a legislative agenda, which asserts the Association’s legislative priorities for that legislative cycle. NASW’s legislative agenda is always consistent with the core values of our professiona and  in harmony with NASW policies in Social Work Speaks that was developed by members of the association at Delegate Assembly.
