Yesterday, the NASW board shared a message with members, reaffirming commitment to the 91-year-old organization's values. It is our collective commitment to our members, to our community, and to our professions:

Our collective commitment

NASW was founded more than 90 years ago with a mission to “fight for the free flow of science news.” That mission is imperative, yet threatened by recent challenges to the First Amendment and the freedom of the press.
