Nurses rallied in D.C. today because families deserve health care they can count on. Washington Hospital Center postpartum unit must reopen! Closures and service cuts are not inevitable. Nurses are organizing to demand hospitals make a different choice: Patients over profits!

Nurses and our allies delivered a letter to MedStarHealth management: We demand Washington Hospital Center restore the vital care our patients depend on and reopen the postpartum unit!

Black women make up 84% of pregnancy-related deaths in D.C., despite accounting for just 31% of births. We're demanding MedStar Washington Hospital Center reopen its shuttered postpartum unit in the midst of the Black maternal health crisis. Nurses won't accept anything less!

Today, nurses are putting D.C. on RED ALERT! D.C. hospitals could lose up to $223MM annually due to H.R. 1 budget cuts, and some hospitals like MedStar Washington Hospital Center are already cutting services! Nurses are fighting because we know it doesn't have to be this way!

Nurses ✊ shut ✊ it ✊ down ✊ in San Francisco today to demand Palantir out of our health care, out of our communities, and out of our society.

When you've been a nurse since the 70s, you've seen decades of change, and not all of it good. But as CNA/NNOC President Cokie Giles, RN reminds us: "Enough people carrying torches can light up even the darkest future." 🔥 Keep passing the torch.

Nurses and our allies are kicking off the People vs. Palantir: Global Week of Action this morning with activists from 30+ countries around the world! We heal. Palantir kills. Palantir has NO place in our health care system.

📢 If nurses are outside, something is WRONG inside! 📢 Nurses at Carondelet St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s hospitals picketed this week to demand management address staffing and patient care issues.
