Commit

To adopt a stance of intersectionality in our work, acknowledging that our identities, class, and social location interact and intersect in such ways that persons and populations experience different levels of oppression and privilege in our society. We commit to learning and unlearning about our privileges and about the oppressive forces of our society; and how these may show up in nursing, our organization, and our work. We commit to working with antiracist and decolonial practices to achieve cultural humility and a more just society. To this end, we acknowledge that our work occurs on the traditional and often unceded territories of many Indigenous Nations both across the north of Turtle Island and beyond.
