[1]National Nurses United

I wanted
to follow up in case you missed it:

This week is Nurses Week, and we’re carving out the space and time to
honor nurses who have worked tirelessly over the past year to care for
patients and save lives.

To mark the end of Nurses Week, nurses from across the country will be
gathering for a powerful event to stand in solidarity with and honor their
fallen nurse colleagues — and we would love for you to join us virtually.

join us for our virtual Day of Remembrance event on Wednesday, May 12 at 6
pm PT/9 pm ET to honor fallen nurses and fight for the living? We’d love
to have as much of our community with us as we honor our fallen
colleagues.

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we have all seen how our employers and
elected officials have chosen to prioritize profits over nurse and patient
safety. They have refused to implement basic health and safety measures
for workers and patients alike — such as proper PPE, adequate staffing
levels, and robust Covid-19 testing. 

Their failures and greed have led to the preventable deaths of over 400
registered nurses and thousands of health care workers, in addition to the
over half a million Americans who have died.

But we can see a silver lining. The Biden administration
just announced it’s moving forward with an Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) emergency temporary standard requiring health care
employers and management to provide safe workplaces for nurses and other
health care essential workers.

If implemented, this standard would be a significant shift towards truly
protecting nurses — but we must continue speaking out.

We will never forget those who have died throughout this pandemic, and we
resolve to honor the fallen and fight for the living. And, Wednesday’s event is one
of the most powerful ways to show your solidarity as we continue to demand
change for workers, patients, and our communities.

[ [link removed] ]Please join us on Wednesday, May 12 at 6 pm PT/9 pm ET as we honor and
read the names of the close to 400 nurses who have lost their lives to
Covid-19 over the past year.

We hope to see you there,

Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, RN
NNU President

P.S. If you are unable to join us on May 12, please join us for one of our
