Political courage is what happens when someone acts on their principles rather than give in to the pressure of a powerful for-profit industry.
Political courage is also the exact OPPOSITE of what Gov. Gavin Newsom displayed last week when he vetoed a modest bill that would require hospitals to provide more advance warning to the communities they serve before closing.
We’re calling him out for this betrayal, and we need your help. Zenei Cortez, RN and President of the California Nurses Association and National Nurses United, wrote an op-ed today in the Sacramento Bee about why Newsom is so wrong. We need you to share it and help spread the word. Can we count on you?
Click either of the buttons below to share the op-ed on social media. Every additional share we generate puts it in front of dozens of new people and raises even more awareness around this issue.
Gov. Newsom’s veto is effectively a death sentence for so many Californians across the state. Here’s why:
Gov. Newsom has clearly chosen the desires of the corporate hospital industry over the needs of our communities and patients. So we need to get as loud as we possibly can to make him feel the heat.
Spreading the word and driving pressure to his office is the #1 way to do that. Can you take a few seconds to share Zenei’s op-ed on Facebook, Twitter, or email it to your friends? It’ll only take two clicks.
Thank you for getting involved around this pivotal issue, friend. It means so much to us and countless others.
In solidarity,
National Nurses United / California Nurses Association
