Achieving social equity in the nursing industry

​We stand with you to listen, learn, and  move past words to take meaningful action. 

Nurses Against Racism was created to give nurses and healthcare professionals the opportunity to stand in solidarity with the communities of people who are continually on the receiving end of social and racial injustice. We want to take this moment to listen and learn from our nurses on how we can improve our industry and make sure everyone's voice is heard, while also giving back to those who will lead us forward in these consequential times.
  
 Our mission is to create a coalition of healthcare providers who will work to make meaningful change towards racial equity in the nursing industry. 
 
Through donations, initiatives and public feedback, we hope to rise up to the occasion and meet this moment head on. ​

The Coalition

We invite providers to join the cause by informing the public about the ways they are combating racism. If you are a healthcare provider and would like to join Nurses Against Racism, please share your initiatives and your logo. We will highlight your efforts on the site and share feedback as we learn more. Your initiatives can inspire others to join in and take action! 

Current Participating Providers

The Initiatives
