Took a field trip to Sacramento 🏛️ Last weekend, I attended the National Association of Social Workers, California Chapter (NASW-CA) Legislative Lobby Days. I felt inspired being among hundreds of fellow social work students and professionals throughout California. We had the amazing opportunity to converse with our legislators on important bills that affect our underserved and most vulnerable communities. So grateful to have experienced this with the California State University, Fullerton MSW program! #LLD2024 #NASWCA
