I’m Bonnie Castillo, RN and executive director of National Nurses United. I wanted to reach out to let you know about an important opportunity to advance our movement this week.
Yesterday Sen. Bernie Sanders, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, announced that his committee will hold a hearing on Medicare for All this Thursday, May 12.
I am thrilled to share that I will be testifying at the hearing in support of Medicare for All on behalf of the 175,000 nurses in our union and on behalf of our entire movement. You can sign up here to tune in to the hearing with me on Thursday at 11:00 AM EDT.
The nurses of our union, myself included, know far too well that Medicare for All is the necessary, urgent solution to transform our broken health care system. That’s why I’ll be with Senator Sanders on Thursday, sharing nurses’ unique, firsthand perspective on why this legislation cannot wait.
We also expect that Senator Sanders will reintroduce his Medicare for All Senate bill in coordination with this hearing, which will make this Thursday a major moment for our campaign to win Medicare for All.
I’m honored to be testifying in Congress in support of Medicare for All — and I want you right there with me. For months, we’ve been organizing in preparation for the reintroduction of Medicare for All in the Senate — and now that we’re one step closer, I hope you’ll join me and sign up here to watch the hearing live on Thursday.
This is a pivotal moment for our movement for health care justice, and I’m excited to be fighting alongside you until this legislation gets across the finish line.
See you Thursday!
Bonnie Castillo, RN
Executive Director
National Nurses United
