A social worker’s ability to inform policy can often bridge the gap between community needs and government action to build a more just society. Sam Mistrano, associate teaching professor, and PhD alumna Melissa Bird who is running for congress in Oregon's 4th district, discuss how social work and public policy are deeply intertwined.
