NASW Endorses
Hillary Clinton for President
NASW-PACE enthusiastically endorses Hillary Clinton for President in 2016.
Our endorsement of Secretary Clinton is motivated by her history of social change. For example, in 1992, Secretary Clinton was instrumental in developing and eventually passing the Children
'
s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), a highly successful program that provides insurance coverage to children whose families earn too much to qualify for medical assistance, but who could not afford to purchase private insurance.
Over the years, she has been a stalwart and outspoken proponent for health care reform, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment; women's reproductive rights; social safety net; racial justice and equal rights; LGBTQ rights; and many other values and policies that are strongly aligned with NASW's.
NASW is
further encouraged that during her campaign to become the nation's
next president, she has articulated her unambiguous commitment to work with Congress on passing key social justice and economic justice legislation, including immigration reform, college loan relief, criminal justice reform, increases in the minimum wage, and environmental protection. For more information on the NASW-PACE endorsement of Hilary Clinton, click here.

As part of U.S. Department of Health & Human Services efforts to expand access to treatment for people with mental health and substance use disorders, President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum in March 2016 creating a Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Task Force. The Task Force wants to hear from health care providers, social workers and other stakeholders on their experience with mental health and substance use disorder parity requirements. Please take this opportunity to provide feedback to the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Task Force.
