Friends,
Since 2009, Johns Hopkins Hospital has filed more than 2,400 lawsuits in pursuit of medical debt from their patients. They’ve garnished wages, aggressively targeted low-income families, and have even drained bank accounts (including the last $92.18 to someone’s name).
Hospitals in Virginia and Tennessee have already suspended this abhorrent, cruel, inhumane practice. But Johns Hopkins doesn’t care. And unless we make them care, they are going to keep preying on low-income and predominantly Black patients.
We’re hosting a rally with the AFL-CIO, local activists, and even the Johns Hopkins RN Organizing Committee to protest outside the hospital on Saturday, July 20. And we need your help to make it as big as possible.
Can you make it to our rally on July 20? We'll also have buses available for transporting activists to and from D.C. Just follow this link to learn more.
Where: Johns Hopkins Hospital
1800 Orleans St, Baltimore, MD 21287
When: July 20, 2:00pm ET

This is a defining moment — not only for the nurses at Johns Hopkins who are being denied their union bargaining rights, but the patients who are being intimidated, lied to, and preyed upon so that hospital management can rake in more profits.
We must fight back. Johns Hopkins is one of the biggest hospitals in the world, and if we can hold them and their profit-driven practices accountable, then we can hold just about anyone accountable.
In solidarity,
National Nurses United
