| VNA June Nurses Month of Action |
 June Nurses Month of ActionThe Virginia Nurses Association (VNA) invites nurses and healthcare advocates across the Commonwealth to participate in our June Nurses Month of Action, a month-long initiative designed to empower nurses to engage in advocacy and connect with
policymakers. Throughout June, VNA will host in-person legislator meetings across the state, open to both members and nonmembers, along with educational resources and opportunities to take meaningful advocacy actions.
Ready to join the movement for a healthier Virginia & a well-equipped nursing workforce?
Week 1 | Voter & Civic Engagement Fundamentals Kick off the month with advocacy basics. Learn how to register to vote or update your voting address, discover who represents you in government, and hear guidance on how a bill becomes law and how to have effective conversations with legislators. Nurses are encouraged to invite colleagues to register to vote and become Voter Registration Ambassadors.
Week 2 | Your Personal Story & Areas of Interest Advocacy starts with your voice. Participants will identify the issues that matter most to them and learn how to share their personal nursing stories with policymakers. Nurses will be encouraged to reach out to their legislators through messages, letters, or phone calls and participate in a VNA member advocacy webinar available throughout the month.
Week 3 | State-Level Policy & Advocacy Focus on policies affecting nursing and healthcare in Virginia. Nurses will thank legislators for legislation passed during the most recent General Assembly session, share VNA’s legislative priorities, and sign up for future advocacy opportunities including the 2027 Lobby Day and December 2026 legislative visits.
Week 4 | National-Level Policy & Advocacy The month concludes with a national advocacy focus leading up to the American Nurses Association’s 2026 Hill Day on June 25. Nurses will have the opportunity to thank federal legislators supporting the profession and send messages advocating for key federal legislation impacting nursing and healthcare.
