The National Association of Social Workers released their "2021 Blueprint of Federal Social Policy Priorities", one of which is to eliminate racism. According to the NASW's Blueprint "Corrective action is essential to abate long-standing the inequities associated with systemic discriminatory practices. Our leaders (with support of the general public) must transform their understanding of the system of oppression and the factors that keep it in place and take actions that make our society more equitable and inclusive for all people."
