Worldwide, approximately 500,000 people overdose each year. Each year on 8/31, we remember those we’ve lost by recognizing International Overdose Awareness Day. #NASW reminds you that the recovery community continues working to #EndOverdose. #IOAD2020

The #nasw Mississippi Chapter joined others to push for removal of a Confederate symbol from the #MississippiFlag. The legislature agreed on a resolution to do so. "This is a great day for Mississippi," Chapter Executive Director Gwen Bouie-Haynes said.

Wearing face coverings in most non medical situations isn’t to protect healthy wearers from #COVID19 -it’s to keep people w/ virus from spreading it to others.
I wear my face covering to protect you & you wear yours to protect me. We are all in this together! #WednesdayWisdom

"A few days ago, 300 people gathered in the Old State Capitol in Jackson, Miss., to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the election of Hiram Revels as the nation’s first African-American member of Congress." --Eric Foner – at Jackson, MS
Despite the disappointments that followed, the anniversary of the election of Hiram Revels as the first African-American senator remains worthy of celebration as a significant moment in the continuing effort to purge this nation of the legacy of slavery nyti.ms/31ZGJnP

Cesar Chavez said, we cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress & prosperity for our community. Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations &needs of others, for their sake and for our own. That’s the kind of progress we're working towards. – at Moss Point, MS
