Racial Justice Resources

Since the racial justice protests of 2020 and in an effort to benefit the community, Angel City Advisors have been collecting data-sets and mapping them across Los Angeles County. The resulting product is an Equity Mapbook, or collection of 79 maps that visualize injustice and exclusion across the LA County region. Intended for community-members to use, cite, and act upon, please view the Los Angeles Equity Mapbook.

Voting

On the evening of October 14th, 2020, faculty and students of the MSW Department hosted and recorded a community-wide Teach-In. The online session, entitled "Teach-In: You Matter! Your Vote Matters!", focused on the importance of voting and provided an overview of California propositions on this year's ballots. We are now ready to vote, and we hope you are too! Watch the Teach-In video.

Dear CSUN MSW community, 

I have heard from many of you that you are appreciative of the support and resources that the staff and faculty has been providing. We will continue to post information as it becomes available to us. Feel free to also send resources that you are aware of to us so that we can share widely. 

We will also continue to have a safe space to process in Sierra Hall 272 on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 4:50-5:50, as that is a time that many of you are on campus. For those of you off site or online, we can try to set up zoom in that classroom for you to be able to call in.

CSUN MSW Response to the Tragedy in Orlando

June 14, 2016

The University Library

Dear Students and alumni,

 

The faculty of the Social Work Department urges students, faculty, staff, alumni and the wider CSUN community to support victims and their families in the wake of senseless hate crime and to demand social justice in our nation and the world.

 

The members of California State University, Northridge Department of Social Work offer our sincere condolences to the families, friends, and members of the Orlando community who lost loved ones during Sunday’s shooting. This is but one in a series of acts of hate and terror to have plagued our nation in recent years. It is difficult to comprehend violent acts like this or to fully understand the grief of those who are suffering. What we can do is unite as a community against further divisiveness and stand together against acts of hate and for a vision of a just and whole society.
