Every year there’s a special week dedicated to nurses.
Nearly one hundred nurses in the United States have died so far from COVID-19. To honor our colleagues and those of us health care workers who are still putting our lives at risk, we’re holding a nationwide virtual candlelight vigil at the conclusion of Nurses Week.
By coming together, we will not only honor these nurses, but also call attention to the lives that are at stake if our elected leaders continue to leave us without the proper PPE we need. We must join together to say enough is enough.
Will you stand in solidarity with nurses and join our virtual candlelight vigil this Tuesday, May 12th, at 6:30pm PT/9:30pm ET? Click here to RSVP, and we’ll send you an email reminder at the start time of the event with the link to join us live or watch the recording.
Since the beginning of this crisis, nurses have been put at risk and exposed to COVID-19 without proper protections — many losing their lives to the virus. But it didn’t have to be this way.
Employers and Congress have refused to take action to protect nurses even as more and more of us die due to the lack of PPE and other protections.
That’s why we are coming together on Tuesday night to create a space to collectively mourn the lives of nurses who have died and empower one another to take a stand in continuing to demand protections from employers and Congress.
Nurses Week may be coming to an end, but we will never stop speaking out until nurses are protected as we fight on the front lines to keep you safe.
In solidarity,
National Nurses United
