While we stay inside and practice social distancing, millions of nurses around the world went to work today to take care of sick patients and try to minimize the impact of this pandemic.
With enormous courage and bravery, the nurses of National Nurses United and nurses and health care workers everywhere are on the frontlines of our current crisis. They are constantly exposing themselves to extreme risk in order to treat and protect patients and every single one of us.
NNU is doing everything in our power to protect all nurses during this crisis. On our emergency call this Wednesday night, we’ll talk more about our efforts and how you can help support.
As we mentioned last week, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to postpone our in-person Week of Action for our Patients over Profits campaign scheduled for early next month.
We have a new plan to keep the campaign moving during these uncertain times – and we want to make sure that you’re in the loop about what’s happening and how you can plug in (even while social distancing).
We want you to know all the details of our revised plans for the Patients Over Profits campaign. To hear about our interim strategy for the Patients Over Profits campaign, please join our emergency call this Wednesday, March 18th at 5:00 pm PT/ 8:00 pm ET.Join the emergency call »
While postponing our Week of Action sets us back, we can’t afford to lose our momentum. Since we aren’t able to gather signatures in-person for the campaign, we have to rely much more heavily on digital outreach.
Without in-person events, it will take a HUGE digital push to reach our goal of 50,000 signatures, and it’s going to take all of us being on the same page to work together as this crisis unfolds.
Let’s also be clear — under Medicare for All, this COVID-19 crisis would be playing out very differently. We would have guaranteed free and comprehensive testing, a free vaccine once made available, and the ability for anyone who gets sick to be able to see a doctor and get treatment without worrying about financial cost. That’s why we need to fight for Medicare for All now more than ever.
We aren’t giving up. This situation is scary, but we know we can get through it together.
In solidarity,
Jasmine Ruddy
