In recognition of National Nurses Week, HRNA/AIIRM hosted a panel on Health Justice and Social Action in Nursing with nationally and internationally recognized nurse activists Birgit Umaigba, Marliss Taylor, Michelle Danda, and Meaghan Thumath on June 5th, 2023.
Making up the large majority of the health workforce, nurses represent strength in numbers in the health system, although are not often adequately supported to influence policy change. While the concept of ‘nurse advocacy’ is often quoted in nursing education and guidelines related to clinical care, broader applications of community organizing and activism in nursing are less often illustrated.
In this panel, we will hear from four nurses with direct experience in advancing health justice across diverse practice and policy settings. This panel was open to the public, although was aimed towards nurses. Panelists shared their experiences and lessons learned in advocacy, pathways towards getting involved in justice-oriented work, and strategies for community organizing in health and social justice spheres.
