Journey of Racial Reconciliation Toolkit
Journey of Racial Reconciliation is the name for ANA’s multi-phase journey of accountability, healing, and reconciliation.
Conversations about race and racism are difficult and ANA wants to provide resources and support for meaningful discussions and answer the tough questions. This approach aligns with comments ANA has heard throughout this journey leading to the historic vote by ANA’s Membership Assembly and action towards reconciliation.
This toolkit is a resource for leaders of nursing organizations who choose to join ANA on the journey and to share and amplify the work that is just beginning. Please use the content and assets in this toolkit when promoting, amplifying, and having conversations about ANA’s racial reckoning journey, statement, and other work to address racism in nursing.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please email newsroom@ana.org.
Summary of work
Throughout its history, the American Nurses Association (ANA) has sought to lead the nursing profession into the future.
Through acts of omission, when ANA failed to act, and acts of commission, when ANA’s actions have negatively impacted nurses of color and ethnic-minority nursing associations, the association has caused harm and perpetuated the systemic racism seen today.
As such, the Journey of Racial Reconciliation is ANA’s multiphased journey into identifying, acknowledging, and reckoning with these actions, which have caused harm and continue to impact the profession.
