Nurses know how to speak up. We bring powerful voices forward for justice, historically and currently, in all manner of forums local, regional, national, and global. However, we have not coalesced in any substantive way around the current global polycrisis of growing and blatant rights violations at the hands of governments’ alt-Right promotion of unfettered capitalism and hatred of marginalized and racialized peoples. This editorial provides a description of Left, socialist politics and Right-alt-Right politics for nursing, with a call for nurses to join mobilization for Left politics to confront the global polycrisis of vast inequitable and widening global economic and social inequalities and climate emergency.
