FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ALEXANDRIA, VA. — May 15, 2025 — DNPs of Color is honored to endorse the Nurses SHIFT Change: Report for Duty Rally on May 24th, a meaningful nationwide gathering that brings nurses together in a shared purpose and collective action.

At this critical moment in our nation’s history—we believe nurses have a vital role to play. The Report for Duty Rally reflects the heart of our profession: a commitment to showing up, speaking out, and standing together in service of our communities.

This event aligns deeply with our mission at DNPs of Color to advance health equity, amplify diverse voices in nursing leadership, and uphold the highest ethical standards in practice. It also echoes the message shared by our Founder and CEO, Dr. Danielle McCamey, in her recent call to action:

“As nurses, we do not have the luxury of neutrality. Our profession’s legacy and America’s future health demand that we choose courage, community, and unwavering commitment to justice.”

This rally reflects and embodies the principles of the ANA Code of Ethics from advocating for dignity and respect, to advancing social justice, to forging collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts that improve health and promote healing, and human flourishing for all.

We encourage nurses, allies, and healthcare professionals everywhere to join in this moment of unity and action. Your presence matters. Your voice matters. 

In service and solidarity,
DNPs of Color
