Wurzweiler PhD candidate Justyna Rzewinski, LCSW, is scheduled to present via NASW-NYS on September 19, 2024. The workshop, titled "Beyond The Case Files: Service Providers Educating Justice Impacted Individuals On Their Right To Vote," will delve into the historical context of voting rights and its relevance to justice-impacted individuals and communities.
The presentation will emphasize the importance of service providers being well-versed in voting rights when assisting those affected by the criminal legal system. It aims to highlight the significance of social workers understanding voting rights due to the likelihood of serving clients impacted by mass incarceration.
Participants will gain insight into how disenfranchisement disproportionately affects individuals and communities of color. The presenter will describe strategies to advocate for voting rights and support impacted individuals effectively. Additionally, guidance will be offered on ways service providers can educate their clients on voting rights and empower them to become advocates themselves.
Registration for the live webinar is available online.
