With Trump and Republicans’ health care cuts, the potential impacts to Community First Medical Center are alarming: Delayed emergency care, less preventative care, mounting financial burdens, and suffering communities. Nurses say: Save our hospitals and protect our patients!
Debora Kapisha, RN is legally authorized to live and work in the U.S. while seeking asylum. ICE secret police picked her up anyways. Maine nurses sprung into action to advocate for her and today we gathered to welcome home our colleague and neighbor. When we fight, we win! ✊
Nurses congratulate @abdulelsayed.bsky.social on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan. Abdul has walked picket lines with us. He's championed #MedicareForAll and workers' rights. We're proud to have endorsed him and we're ready to help him win in November!
RNs rallied today outside Maine Medical Center to demand ICE release Debora Kapisha, RN, who is being detained despite the fact that she is legally authorized to live & work in the country while she waits for her asylum case to be processed. ICE has no right to tear our communities apart!
UNC management wants nurses to outbid each other on shifts to see how little they can pay you to work in bad conditions. 😡 Union nurses denounce this cost-cutting scheme to normalize gig work. What really changes a hospital is collective power, not working against each other.
What an incredible day of action fighting for guaranteed health care! ✊❤️ Nurses and activists took action at more than 100 congressional offices across the U.S. to send a clear message to our elected leaders: Medicare for All and nothing less!
✍️ Earlier this month, union nurses in Wichita, KS got two more candidates to take our Patients Over Profits pledge! 560+ candidates have pledged to reject campaign contributions from the executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the corporate health care industry. ✊
Nurses stood strong in our communities today demanding full accountability, fair investigations, and prosecutions for the murders of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. ❤️ Reform of Trump's criminal paramilitary force isn't enough. Nurses say: #AbolishICE!
🕊️ Alex Pretti 🕊️ Renee Good 🕊️ Lorenzo Salgado Araujo 🕊️ Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero Nurses won't stand for ICE gunning down our patients with impunity in the streets! ICE out of our hospitals, our schools, and our communities. #AbolishICE
Despite nurses continually calling on Maine Medical Center to cut ties with @PalantirTech, management refuses. So nurses held a press conference to let the public know just how dangerous this partnership is for our community. MaineHealth: It's time to #PurgePalantir!
One in three babies born in the D.C. is delivered at @medstarhealth.bsky.social Washington Hospital Center. Union nurses took action this week to demand the hospital keep the postpartum unit open!
This administration unleashes a new terror on our communities every day because they want us to be so afraid that we stop organizing to hold them accountable. Our employers use the same tactics to try and union bust. But every time, they underestimate our resolve & solidarity.✊
Nurses marched and rallied outside U.S. Senator Dick Durbin's apartment in Chicago with #PurgePalantir signs. Nurses demand he return every dollar in Palantir donations. Palantir surveillance tech doesn't belong in our hospitals or our government!
Justice for Lorenzo! Join us for a National Mass Call for Justice as we organize a nationwide response to honor Lorenzo's life, support his family, and demand immediate accountability. July 15, 8:00 PM EST, register here: https://www.mobilize.us/disappearedinamerica/event/987861/
Trump's fuel blockade on Cuba is literally killing people because patients can't get the health care they need. Nurses are saying it loud and clear: End this humanitarian crisis, now!
The latest group of RNRN nurses are back home after an incredible trip to the Dominican Republic where volunteers provided basic medical care and health screenings to underserved communities in collaboration with OASV (Organizacion Amancio Samuel Villatoro). ❤️
Why nurses have rescinded our endorsement of Graham Platner. ⬇️
When we're assigned too many patients, we can't give them the care they deserve: Call lights go unanswered, medication is delayed, and we see an increase in patient falls. 😭 We are on strike because this is all preventable — if @ascension-org.bsky.social listened to nurses and staffed up!
While @ascension-org.bsky.social promotes itself as a ministry devoted to healing, nurses know the truth: It acts like a billion-dollar health care corporation more devoted to profits than to patients. Nurses at Saint Agnes Hospital in Baltimore are on strike to demand better!
Wichita nurses at @ascension-org.bsky.social have demanded workplace violence prevention for years. Last month, someone brought a gun to the St. Joseph emergency department and took their own life. Nurses and our patients deserve better. They've failed to fix the problems, so we're striking.
An important reminder on the 250th anniversary of America's independence: Nurses will not stand by as the Trump administration attacks our democratic rights. We are defenders of our communities and defenders of democracy. ❤️🤍💙
Last month, feds gave a TX man 30 years for possessing literature like this feminist nursing history. Reading history isn't a crime. Neither is organizing neighbors or standing with immigrants. Drop the charges against the 15 MN protesters and union activists.
☀️🔥 Hot Strike Summer is here. We've had enough! Enough understaffing. Enough putting profits before patients. Solidarity to every nurse on the picket line this summer.
Nurses save lives! That’s why we’re in D.C. demanding the U.S. end the blockade of fuel entering Cuba. This is fuel that powers water pumps and hospitals that 11 million people depend on. Surgeries postponed. Essential medicines gone. Infant mortality doubled. Enough!
Join NNU Executive Director Puneet Maharaj on Thursday at 4pm PT for an @arocaction.bsky.social debrief on our election primary wins, upsets, and opportunities. 🍉✊ 👉 bit.ly/arocactionde...
East D.C. is a maternal health desert! Nurses at MedStar Washington Hospital Center protest to call attention to maternal health cuts at D.C.’s largest hospital.
BREAKING: Nurses at Saint Mary of Nazareth in Chicago just voted to join NNOC/NNU by 96%! 🎉🎉🎉 We are thrilled to join other Prime nurses in bargaining — and to be an example for other Prime nurses to organize unions throughout the country! ✊
Thank you to Celia Keenan-Bolger for joining nurses in Kalamazoo today on our Red Alert: Save Our Hospitals Tour! It's going to take all of us: Nurses, patients, politicians, and yes — even Broadway actors — to fight the Trump administration's cuts to our health care. ✊
We cannot stand by while our government prioritizes billionaires and funnels money into ICE and endless wars — over our hospitals and life-saving care!" - Jamie Brown, NNU president and Beacon Kalamazoo nurse of 21 years
