TAKE ACTION
Join fearless nurses across the country fighting for health justice.
Rooting out racism requires a multi-tiered approach. Some are treating the schools. Others are treating the workplaces. They’re all treating each other. But it will take everyone standing up and speaking out to heal racism’s harms.
Nursing — after all — is shared work.

Discrimination in nursing begins even before school starts.
We know that a diverse nursing workforce improves patient outcomes. Yet the path to becoming an RN has not always been equitable. Systemic barriers have discouraged nurses of color from pursuing RN degrees.
In this scene from #EverybodysWork, Tonja Copeland and Dr. Anna Maria Valdez share their experiences navigating the RN and LVN/LPN tracks and the barriers they faced along the way.
We’re thrilled to share that “Everybody’s Work” has been selected for the International Black Film Festival in Nashville!
#EverybodysWork, directed by Chad Tingle, exists because of the fearless nurses and co-conspirators who stood up and shared their stories. We’re grateful for the opportunity for this film and the issues it raises to gain greater audiences at a festival that celebrates diverse voices and perspectives. Join us to honor these nurses and be part of the solutions to addressing racism in healthcare.
