Nurses should and will lead the way in ending racism in health care. ACKNOWLEDGING, ACCEPTING, and ADVOCATING are 3 keys to creating a practice of anti-racism and eliminating bias in nursing schools and at work. via Oncology Nursing Society voice.ons.org/stories/nurses…

Flashing back two Fridays ago when MPS CARE co-sponsored the book launch & talk for Dr. Frederick Engram's (Dr. Frederick V. Engram Jr.) "Black Liberation Through Action and Resistance" at University of Washington. Here he's pictured with Wendy Barrington, Dir of the Center for Anti-Racism and Community Health & @mclemoremr, our Interim Dir.

We were excited when we heard that DOROTHY ROBERTS would be on campus as a guest lecturer on Jan. 11. But now that we know our interim dir, @mclemoremr (Dr. Monica McLemore), will be joining the Professor & Author of Killing the Black Body as a co-panelist, we are totally AMPED!

We are taking some much needed R&R and we encourage you to do the same! See you in 2024! #restisresistance

We're looking forward to this kind of thorough scholarship and then some from @dorothyeroberts THIS THURSDAY when she speaks at @uw about "Anti-Blackness and Broken Systems." The panel, sponsored by our Center and Center for Anti-Racism and Community Health, begins at 3pm. Be there! #rp @iv4rjofficial

Our Open House was an incredible success! On Fri night we celebrated the work and vision of UW MPS CARE in Nursing. And the best part? We were able to honor the two women for whom the Center is named--Frankie Manning & the late Dr. Lois Price Spratlen whose children accepted on her behalf.

The Center aims to transform nursing by learning, unlearning and holding up a mirror of accountability and transparency that creates nurses and an approach to care that does not reward silence and fear.

What are your motivations for practicing anti-racism and doing the work of centering equity and justice frameworks? Don't just say you're an "ally" because it feels cool! Be ten toes down about it and create real change. #rp @racialequityinsights
