Nurse Attorneys as Leaders, Advocates, & Legislators

Virtual Event Virtual Event

  Representation matters. Diverse voices at policy-making tables lead to public policy that is more representative of the community it serves. However, nursing’s voice is missing from many of those tables. We now know the number of nurses in elected office is decreasing, not increasing. Let’s change that! During this webinar we will discuss the importance of representation in politics, why nurse attorneys are uniquely qualified to run for elected office, and how to get started. There are 3.5 million nurses in the United States and while we won’t all run for office, the millions of us that don’t can help those that do. Learner Objectives Define “representation” in the political context. Identify the skills and expertise that make nurse attorneys uniquely qualified to run for elected office at every level - local, state, or federal. Describe what the participant can do to increase the representation of nurses in elected office. Register here

Political Determinants of Health with Nelson J Dunlap

Virtual Event Virtual Event

As nurses, we’re keenly aware of the social determinants of health - those conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect our health. Perhaps more important are the political determinants of health – the policy choices that led to the SDOH. Join us on September 23rd at 8 pm ET to hear about Political Determinants of Health from Nelson J. Dunlap, JD, VP, Public Policy & External Affairs, School of Global Health at Meharry Medical College. What are PDOH and how are they different from SDOH? How can nurses support PDOH? Please consider donating $10 to support future Healing Politics events.

Create Your Own Event

Happy Election Season! Healing Politics Aficionados know that we host monthly virtual events. In the spirit of civic engagement, we encourage every nurse and midwife to Create Your Own Event in October! Whether you intend to run for office or want to help colleagues who do, the weeks leading up to the 2024 general election provide a wealth of opportunities to gain experience and expertise. If running for office or managing a campaign is in your future, volunteer for a candidate of your choice and try someone else's campaign for size. It's a terrific learning experience - no risk and all reward! Communities that vote are healthier! Improve the health of your community by registering voters and encouraging them to vote. Help others vote by becoming a poll worker. Our July event featured our partner, Power the Polls. We discussed what poll workers do and why they are important to the voting process. Nurses & midwives from CA, CO, DC, DE, IL, MA, MD, NC, NY, and PA have already signed up; it's not too late to join them! Check out the Create Your Own Event information on our website for advice and tips about what you can do right now! Then, share your October “event” on social media - show us what you did and share what you learned. Tag us: #healingpolitics #nursingispolitical #nursesleadchange #nursesvote. Are you ready to Create Your Own Event?!?!? Learn more here.   The fine print: Healing Politics is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and cannot engage in campaign activities for any candidate.
