Dear ,

New York City is still a union town — and we’re so proud to tell you that a union of frontline healthcare workers just endorsed Dianne for the #1 spot on your ballot on June 22.

That’s right — the Committee of Interns and Residents/SEIU (CIR/SEIU), the largest union of hospital physicians in the United States, endorsed Dianne for mayor. CIR/SEIU has thousands of members who fight every day for a just and humane healthcare system.

On Team Mayorales, we believe it’s time to address the systems, not the symptoms, and the healers at CIR/SEIU think so too. Learn more about Dianne’s plans for building a care economy that will make health justice possible for New York City.

Dianne understands that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed how much health is social — how the jobs that New Yorkers hold, the neighborhoods they live in and the languages that they speak affect their access to good healthcare and their vulnerability to getting sick or hurt.

Her prescription for what’s ailing New Yorkers: Push for the state to pass universal healthcare through the New York Health Act, build a care economy, provide more local care in neighborhoods and connect more New Yorkers to safe, trusted spaces of wellness, support and care. Her plan invests in improving medical care, and it focuses on closing the gaps between New York’s most vulnerable communities and the healthcare services they need.

New York City needs a mayor who will treat the systems that harm us, not just address the symptoms of our problems. Will you chip in today to help our grassroots campaign take this holistic approach all the way to City Hall?
