Please contact me for more information. [Addressee],

In my capacity as a nurse registered, I would like to make a case for [insert social justice issue]. This issue has an impact directly on our community’s health and is vital for our well-being.

Social justice and health are interdependent. The social determinants of health, such as poverty, racism, and discrimination, have a significant impact on an individual’s health outcomes. People living in poverty, for example, are more susceptible to chronic illnesses, mental issues and other health problems because they lack access to health care, nutritious food and safe living environments. Social justice is therefore crucial to improving health outcomes, and decreasing health disparities.

This issue is also in line with many ethical principles such as justice, beneficence and non-maleficence. Governments and policymakers have a responsibility to make sure that every individual has the right to access basic resources and human rights to be able to live a healthful life. Healthcare providers have a responsibility to ensure their patients receive fair treatment.

Please take immediate action. [insert social justice issue] Prioritize the health and wellbeing of our community. Thank you for your interest in this issue and I hope we can all work together to create a society that is more fair and just.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
