2008 Conference Community Events
The Social Welfare Action Alliance (SWAA) is a national organization of progressive workers in human services. Founded in 1985, the Alliance is based on key principles that reflect a concern for peace and social justice and coalition building with progressive social movements. These principles articulate a need by social service workers for a practice and theory that responds to progressive concerns. Members and others interested in these principles and the above conference theme are invited to register for the conference.
