From COVID-19 to racism and police violence, nurses see the effects of multiple public health crises on our shifts every day.
In these tumultuous times, we know it’s especially important to remember the voices of revolutionaries past and present and apply the lessons of their struggles to the current moment.
That’s why we’re excited to invite you to a special live event to hear the words of those involved in both historical and present-day struggles for health care and health justice. Activists on the front lines of the pandemic, as well as some of today’s leading performers, will read passages live from key health care leaders in history.
The event is hosted by Voices of a People’s History and will also feature NNU executive director and registered nurse, Bonnie Castillo, to share some reflections on this moment and what we can learn from the past.
The event will feature primary-source speeches and writings to bring context to our present moment, reminding us that just and equitable health care for all is not only vital – but achievable.
The dueling public health crises we’re facing make it more clear than ever that we must radically reimagine our vision of health and health care. This event will uplift examples from the past where we can find inspiration and learning.
You don’t want to miss it. Reserve your spot now.
With thanks,
National Nurses United
