"After the Grand Jury decided not to indict the officers charged with the death of Michael Brown in 2014, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) called for “the Justice Department to review the Ferguson incident to determine whether civil rights violations charges should be filed.” After the death of George Floyd in 2020, over 16 NASW chapters nationwide made it clear how the social work community was to act in the aftermath."
