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.

Treating people with dignity is essential to equitable care for Dr. Anna Valdez.

Sixty years after the Civil Rights Act, we remember the Black nurses who fought for justice and equality. Pioneers like Mary Mahoney paved the way, even as they faced systemic barriers. Their legacy challenges us to continue advocating for a more equitable healthcare system.

Care demands visibility. To properly care for a patient is to personalize care to who they are — even the parts that people “don’t see.”

Meet Dr. Ernest J. Grant, whose nursing career spans 30 years. He knows that providing effective and equitable care means seeing and understanding the cultural nuances and histories of each patient, and to not see any part of a person prevents that.

Learn from Dr. Grant and the rest of our fearless subjects in #EverybodysWorkFilm. Learn how to host a screening at the link in our bio.

There is power in knowing your history, and that’s something that Dr. Lucinda Canty attests to personally and professionally.

Learning that both her grandmother and great-grandmother were enslaved informs her work to address Black maternal health by giving Black women back the autonomy and control of their bodies that were lost. It is her ancestors’ stories that give her the strength to pursue her work for health justice.

DIG DEEPER: ISSUES AND RESOURCES FOR ACTION

Nurses and patients of color are having a different experience in healthcare, in nursing school, and at the bedside than their white counterparts. Learn more about these issues and how to make a difference.

Biased nursing school cultures impede not only the academic success of nurses of color but also their well-being and psychological safety.

The values that nurses are meant to exemplify get lost in biased and discriminatory workplace cultures, threatening the integrity of the profession as we know it.

In the pursuit of racial healing, associations have had to reckon with their own pasts, uncovering contributions to nursing’s ills.
