In this workshop, participants will apply foundational knowledge about antiracism, equity, diversity, inclusion, and justice to propose actions they can take individually and collectively to address health inequities and prevent harm within healthcare. Strategies for engaging in health equity and DEIJ-focused work in organizations or geographic areas that limit language and actions related to DEI will be discussed. Participants will explore strategies to support colleagues in understanding the impact of health inequities and the need for equity-minded nursing.
