While President Trump and his advisors would like us to believe that
“there’s no second wave” of COVID-19, we know that this pandemic is far
from over. 

The Senate has had five months to pass legislation needed to finally
protect nurses on the frontlines – and we’re done waiting. Last
week, National Nurses United’s Executive Director, Bonnie Castillo, RN
testified before Congress on the crisis nurses are facing and what
protections they need to safely do their jobs.
These necessary protections include passing an emergency temporary OSHA
standard and mandating the President use the Defense Production Act to
ramp up mass production of the PPE we still so desperately need.

key provisions in the HEROES Act necessary to protect us and our patients
from COVID-19?

Tell the Senate to finally protect nurses »

We need you to take just a minute to sign your name because every single
signature shows Senators that their constituents care about this issue. 

Some Senators more concerned with reopening states as quickly as possible
are hoping that they’re off the hook. We need a huge showing of pressure
right now to make sure that every Senator – especially Mitch McConnell
– knows that protections for nurses are non-negotiable. Inaction is
immoral, and more nurses will die if the Senate refuses to act. 

The House passed the HEROES Act, which includes these two key provisions
required to protect nurses. We must demand the same from the Senate now.
Nurses cannot wait. 

[ [link removed] ]Please send a message to the U.S. Senate now to demand they pass these
key provisions into law to protect nurses and all of us from COVID-19.

We’re still putting our lives on the line everyday treating COVID-19 patients
without the proper protections. The more of us who get infected, the more
our patients’ lives are at risk — the more we’re ALL at risk. 

This petition is critical to demanding the protections we need once and
for all. Our team is in D.C. meeting with Congressional staff and they
need to be able to show the outpouring of support from nurses, other
frontline workers, and allies everywhere who demand these protections are
passed into law.

Every signature counts.
