This article sheds light on the sociopolitical movements that led state legislators to propose bills restricting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and the profound effect these bills, if passed, will have on advancing health equity.
To alert and alarm nurses and nurse educators regarding the expansiveness of the proposed legislation, highlight the harmful effects, and the necessity for a call to action.
Nurses and nurse educators must be aware of their civic and professional responsibilities to advocate for social justice to promote health equity and educational opportunities for historically excluded groups in nursing.
Proposed legislative limits on DEI could have dire consequences for health, educational institutions, and the economy.
Nurses and nurse educators should engage, inform, and influence policymakers on the potential harm anti-DEI legislation can have on population health.
