Corações Generosos Fernando Tordo

Serviço Social Português Apoia a Greve Geral

Grevistas Famosos A Greve de Cesar E. Chavez

Cesar Estrada Chavez (March 31, 1927 - April 23, 1993) was a Mexican-American labor leader who used non-violent methods to fight for the rights of migrant farm workers in the southwestern USA. Migrant farm workers are people who do farm labor, moving from farm to farm and from town to town as their work is needed - it is difficult work that pays very little and can be dangerous due to the use of pesticides (pesticides are chemicals that kill bugs and can make people sick).

Chavez founded a group that advocates for the rights of farm workers, acting to increase wages and improve the working conditions and safety of farm workers. He also organized strikes (when workers refuse to work until improved working conditions and salary demands are met) and nation-wide boycotts of agricultural products in order to help workers (a boycott is a protest in which the public is asked not to buy certain products). Chavez went on many hunger strikes, refusing to eat until violence against strikers ended and until legislators (law makers) voted to make laws improving the lives of farm workers. He was also jailed many times during his fight against terrible migrant worker conditions.

immigrated from Mexico.




His parents, Librado and Juana, owned a farm and store. The family lost the farm when Cesar was 10 years old (during the Great Depression), and became migrant farm workers. As a youth, Cesar worked part-time in the farm fields with his family in Arizona and California as they moved from farm to farm, harvesting the fields. After graduating from 8th grade, Cesar started working full-time in the fields to help support his family (this was necessary because his father, Librado, had been injured in a car accident).



Cesar served in the US Navy during World War 2. When Cesar Chavez returned from the war, he labored as a farm worker in California. Chavez married Helen Fabela in 1948; they eventually had 8 children and 31 grandchildren.



Early Social Activism - Sí, Se Puede (Yes, it can be done):

Chavez and his wife taught Mexican immigrants to read and organized voting registration drives for new US citizens. Chavez was greatly influenced by the peaceful philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi and Mohandas Gandhi. He joined the Community Service Organization, an organization that worked for the rights of farm workers.

Serviço Social Um Autor Fundamental Para a Sociologia das Profissões :Ernest Greenwood

Ernest Greenwood

Professor of Social Welfare, Emeritus
Berkeley
1910–2004




One of the most distinguished faculty members at the School of Social Welfare at the University of California, Berkeley, Professor Emeritus Ernest Greenwood, died on May 4, 2004. Greenwood taught research theory and methods at the School of Social Welfare from 1953 until his retirement in 1970. He helped shape the school’s reputation as the premier research program in social work in the country both through his scholarly work and through his committee service and professional associations.
Greenwood was born in Transylvania (now part of Romania) in 1910. His mother died during World War I. Due to anti-Semitism and economic hardship, Greenwood and his family (father, stepmother and two stepsisters) emigrated to the U.S. in 1921. Upon the death of his stepmother, he and his siblings were placed in the New York Hebrew Orphan Asylum until his father remarried and reunited the family two years later. He gained social work practice experience as a probation officer for juvenile delinquents and runaways in Ohio, and worked at the same orphanage where he lived as a child.



Educated at the University of Ohio (A.B., summa cum laude, sociology, 1933), the University of Cincinnati (M.A., sociology, 1936), Columbia University (Ph.D., sociology, 1943), and the University of Chicago (M.A., social service administration, 1947), he began his professional career teaching sociology. After serving as a researcher with welfare planning councils in Louisville, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and teaching at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Social Work, he joined Berkeley’s faculty in 1953, where he taught research theory and methods and supervised the new master of social welfare (M.S.W.) research sequence. The program required students to complete a research project, which at the time, was unique. Under Greenwood’s supervision Berkeley’s program became a national model for other schools of social work.
Greenwood’s scholarship brought great distinction to the school. His dissertation, “Experimental Sociology: A Study in Method” (1945), later published as a book, became a seminal text in the emerging fields of sociology and social welfare. It was translated into several languages and is still assigned in courses today. He was a proponent of applying a social scientific approach to the study of social problems and human behavior. He pioneered using statistical methods and empirical testing of hypotheses in social welfare research, preferring them to the case study approach that had dominated the field. His 1957 article, “Attributes of A l.c. Profession,” helped secure social work’s reputation as a legitimate field. His body of work was influential and contributed greatly to the professionalization of the field. These include Social Work Research: A Decade of Reappraisal (1957) and Social Science and Social Work: A Theory of Their Relationship (1955). He also published Metodología de la Investigación Social (1973), one of the first comprehensive social welfare texts in Spanish.


Greenwood’s service to the University was exceptional. He led the successful effort to establish the school’s doctoral program, cochairing (with Professor Henry Maas) the committee that drafted the proposed program. After its approval by the UC Regents, he chaired the program from 1964 to 1967 and initially taught the doctoral-level research course. He also cochaired (with Dean Milton Chernin) the committee overseeing the renovation of Haviland Hall for the School. He supervised a Lilly Foundation-financed program to train researchers for welfare planning agencies. With Chernin, he organized the social science section of the UC Berkeley-University of Chile convenio and in 1967-68 was visiting professor at Chile’s Institute of Social Service, supervising research and teaching a course on the methodology of social research for research instructors in greater Santiago. After his retirement, he endowed the Greenwood-Emeritus Faculty Prize for Competence in Writing, an annual award to a graduating M.S.W. student.







Greenwood is survived by two sisters, Olga Schwartz and Magda Greenwald, six nieces and nephews and 36 grand- and great-grand nieces and nephews.

A Cientista Portuguesa Alcina de Castro Martins, Assistente Social e docente do ISMT,
doutorada em Serviço Social,denunciou esta situação no coloquio internacional na cidade dos Açores (Portugal) por ocasião do 10º Aniversário da escola local. A Situação dramâtica que vivem na actualidade milhares de Assistentes Sociais Portugueses, fruto das políticas socias de emprego das últimas décadas, do crescimento desregulado de escolas e da ausência de uma auto-regulação da classe, constitui uma fonte de preocupação da categoria

Assistentes Sociais espanhois Tomam Partido Contra Pobreza e a Favor dos Direitos Humanos

Toma partido: apoya a la mejor defensa de la historia El Mundial de Futbol ya ha acabado.
Pero mientras los jugadores de las selecciones nacionales empaquetan, algunos más contentos que otros, nuestro equipo de activistas continuará con su importante labor, que desgraciadamente no tiene visos de acabar pronto.

Nuestros once defensores nunca recibirán una copa en lor de multitudes, auque la merecerían más que nadie, pero Amnistía Internacional continuará intentando que sus voces se oigan más, que sus luchas tengan respaldo internacional, que su trabajo por la igualdad, la dignidad y la justicia para todas las personas no signifique arriesgar su propia vida.

Muchas gracias a las 6.073 personas que tomaron partido por Joel Nana (Camerún), Claudia Lema (Perú), Amina Janjua (Pakistán), Mukhmed Gazdiev (Rusia), Shadi Sadr (Irán), Wilter Nyabate (Kenia), el padre Alejandro Solalinde (México), Dhondup Wangchen (Tibet, China), Nataša Kandić (Serbia), Haj Sami Sadeq (Territorios Palestinos Ocupados).



Petición original:
Amnistía Internacional tiene una selección propia y ganadora, un equipo de 11 defensores y defensoras de los derechos humanos de todo el mundo.

Nuestra selección es internacional y multiracial y está compuesta entre otros por Joel Nana (de Camerún), Claudia Lema (de Perú), Amina Janjua (de Pakistán), Mukhmed Gazdiev (de Rusia) o Shadi Sadr (de Irán). Ellos no son conocidos y se enfrentan a una férrea defensa ya que las autoridades de sus países los ignoraran cuando no los reprimen, hostigan o incluso desaparecen.

Sin embargo, nuestro equipo no se esconde, siempre se ofrecen al compañero y sudan la camiseta, como cualquiera de las grandes estrellas. La diferencia es que para los activistas marcar un gol significa salvar una vida, a veces la propia. Son personas que luchan por defender la libertad de expresión, contra la terrible pandemia del sida - que hace estragos en la misma sede del Mundial-, por denunciar los abusos de las grandes compañías contra las comunidades pobres, contra la impunidad por los crímenes de guerra, porque las mujeres tengan acceso a un médico cuando van a dar a luz o por encontrar a sus familiares desaparecidos, etc.

Son verdaderos héroes, aunque su premio no sea recibir una copa en lor de multitudes en el mes de julio, sino luchar por la igualdad, la dignidad y la justicia para todas las personas
