METRO WASHINGTON COUNCIL AFL-CIO

John: Please join AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler, and National Nurses United Executive Director Bonnie Castillo tomorrow as they headline a major rally outside Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore from 2-3:30p to press hospital officials to end their deplorable practice of suing low-income community patients and their families for medical debt.

Hospital officials continue to hound patients even while hospitals in Virginia and Tennessee have suspended the practice.

Labor, health care and community activists from across the region will be on hand as well as those who have been sued by Johns Hopkins Hospital for alleged medical debt.

The July 20 rally will also press Johns Hopkins to respect the rights of its RNs to form a union.

What: Major rally at Johns Hopkins Hospital
When: Saturday, July 20, 2-3 p.m.
Where: Outside Johns Hopkins Hospital, North Broadway between Orleans and Monument Streets (in front of dome), Baltimore. 

Please plan to attend this rally and spread the word on social media; thank you!

The AFL-CIO, National Nurses United, and the Coalition for a Humane Hopkins are sponsoring the rally. More details on the Johns Hopkins medical debt lawsuits is available in a research report by the three organizations.
