Message from
Executive Director
Walter X. Kalman
"With malice toward none...;
...with charity for all...to bind up the nation's wounds...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." Words from the last paragraph of the second inaugural of one of our greatest Presidents, Abraham Lincoln. Words we would hope to hear from our current president, but from which were sadly disappointed. A sentiment we would hope he would follow in action to lead our nation in these difficult times.
It is our duty as Social Workers to speak for the voiceless, the dispirited, the rejected, the troubled, and we must raise our voices in chorus in their defense.
And we would hope our own Governor, a man who professes love for the law would join that chorus when just 13 months ago, he called any Muslim ban "ridiculous...the kind of thing people say when they have no experience and don't know what they are talking about." Yet he refused to disagree with the ban, simply saying it was "done inartfully and ineffectively..." For this and other reasons, it is obvious why he deservedly has only a 17% approval rating from the citizens of our state.
Join the chorus, join the vigils to save our health care, as our own Associate Executive Director Mary Jean Weston did last night. Go the web page of our partner in the NJ for Healthcare Coalition, and offer to come to the
next vigil
. Write your congressional representatives, talk to your friends and co-workers to get them engaged.
Join the chorus -
We sing for the America we know and love.
