Principles of Reckoning
All of the activities related to “Overdue Reckoning” are guided by our Principles of Reckoning, which take a bold anti-racist stand for nursing. Our principles are:
- We claim the courage to join together through the experience of building our anti-racist capacity in nursing.
- We cherish the contributions and honor the voices of Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other Nurses of Color, and yield the floor to those voices throughout our time together.
- We recognize that we cannot move forward without a deep understanding of Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other nurses of color experiences with racism.
- The insights and recommendations of Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other nurses of color are vital to ground our thinking, and to guide our actions.
- We pledge to listen deeply and with respect to any and all expressions of anger, rage, despair and grief arising from racism.
- We commit to healing those harmed by racism.
- We commit to challenging, resisting and ending the voices and actions that sustain white privilege.
- We seek to nurture authentic anti-racist awareness.
- We will inspire and nurture action, as we boldly claim an anti-racist identity for nursing.
