The Center for Innovation in Social Work and Health (CISWH) at Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) recently launched the Beyond 2025 Action Hub, a multi-pronged initiative to equip social workers, health professionals, and more with tools to address harmful policies outlined in Project 2025 and the America First Agenda.
The Beyond 2025 Action Hub features:
Beyond 2025 Database: This searchable database will be updated regularly and features 700+ Project 2025 and America First Agenda policy proposals, Congressional Acts, and executive orders, with options to search by agency, population, or topic. Entries include summaries of health and mental well-being impacts, source links, and editorial comments.
Beyond 2025 Playbook and Toolkit: A practical guide featuring exercises, action planning resources, tutorials, and scripts to help everyday people, social workers, public health practitioners, community members, and leaders take collective action. New and crowdsourced tools will be added regularly to support change-making in challenging times.
Beyond 2025 Critical Conversations Series: Virtual convenings equip participants with skills to take action and navigate policy, funding, and practice changes under the next Administration and Congress. Join us on Tuesday, January 28, for the first session of the Beyond 2025 Critical Conversations series: Beyond Project 2025: An Action Hub to Advance Our Future.
Together, these efforts guide community leaders, social work and public health practitioners, and others to prepare for significant disruptions to our economic, political, health, and social service systems. Looking beyond 2025, we will work together to build the conditions that support equitable health, mental well-being, and quality of life.
