Today is the actual date when I started the blog, four years ago. As has become my sort-of custom, here are the most popular posts, based on page views, comment traffic, social media sharing, and your direct feedback to me.
Please, if I missed one that you particularly liked, let me know. There would be no blog without you (or, at least, I could never justify the time that I spend on it, without someone reading), and so you deserve to celebrate this four years milestone in the way you see fit.
- Building a Better Frame
- What Makes a Good Policy Brief? (which proves that students need help writing policy briefs, and that this site is a reference for students)
- Social work ethics and social media
- On Being a Radical Social Worker
- Justice is Every Step (you guys like guest posts, and Megan is an incredible writer)
- A Voice for Nonprofits: How are Advocating 501(c)3s different? (a recent post that struck a real chord)
- Kiss Me, I’m Mexican? (I like this one a lot, too)
- But HOW do we measure advocacy success? (who doesn’t love advocacy evaluation?)
- Clinical v. Macro Practice
- Social workers and social movements (so, now, let’s get building one!)
Happy anniversary, to us!
Classroom to Capitol 
Congratulations. Thanks for your posts and wisdom and excitement about nonprofit advocacy! It’s great to have such an advocate for advocacy.
Thank you so much! That is so kind! I love the conversation here and am so grateful to all who share it.
I always enjoy reading your blog posts, Melinda! Your passion for the social work profession and social justice in general is extremely inspiring and uplifting, particularly so in our rampantly negative environment today. You keep us fellow social workers up-to-date on the critical macro practice/advocacy-related and political issues that are so integral to the sanctity of our profession — those that are too often overlooked/forgotten by social workers today. Congratulations on four years of wonderful blogging!!! Here’s to many more (I hope)! 🙂
Thank you so much! That made my day!
