May 1: We rally, we march, we show our power! ✊ #MayDayStrong

If HCMC closes, where would parents bring their children after a serious accident or their spouse during a medical emergency? Nurses aren't going to let our community find out. We're demanding Minnesota legislators secure long-term funding for HCMC before May 18!

The Trump administration took public health funds that keep facilities like HCMC functional and open — and gave it to billionaire tax breaks and funding ICE terror. We can keep our community hospitals open if our elected leaders have the right priorities & take immediate action.

President of Minnesota Nurses Association Chris Rubesch explains why HCMC is a cornerstone of Minnesota’s health care system: It provides specialized care that others can’t, like trauma services, burn care & complex emergency treatment. There's no way to overstate the importance of this hospital.

The Red Alert: Save Our Hospitals Tour has arrived in Minneapolis! Nurses & our allies are rallying to save Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC). More than 6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ hospitals nationwide are at risk after devastating federal health care cuts. Nurses are fighting for a different — and better — future.

All over the country, union nurses will take part in #MayDayStrong actions. Every day, we witness the pain caused by this administration's cruel and unjust policies. Nurses are fighting for a different future — one that centers care instead of cruelty. https://bit.ly/4t2K3cW

We are excited to endorse @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for Senate! Dr. El-Sayed is a #MedicareForAll champion who stands with nurses across the country in our fight for single payer! Michiganders deserve a true progressive who works to uphold human rights at home and abroad.

👏Workplace violence is PREVENTABLE, not inevitable.👏 This Workers' Memorial Day, we're not just mourning those we've lost on the job. We're demanding federal workplace violence prevention standards every nurse deserves.

Four days until millions take to the streets to 🚨shut 🚨 it 🚨 down! Nurses are ready to show working people’s power to the Trump administration and the billionaire class when we stand united this #MayDay ✊

This #MayDay, tens of thousands of nurses will be in the streets fighting the billionaires who are profiting off the Trump administration’s anti-union, anti-worker, and anti-immigrant agenda. We're demanding a healthy society for working people, not warfare and profiteering.

RNs in Oroville know the hospital is facing an uphill battle, but we won't allow our community members to be abandoned by a heartless administration that cares more for billionaires than working people. We're standing up to say: Fund health care & save our community hospitals!

Since January, we’ve been in cities and towns up and down California to 🚨sound the alarm🚨 about the effects of health care cuts on our communities. Today, we're in Oroville where more than 85% of Oroville Hospital's patient revenue comes from Medicare and Medicaid.

People are suffering and we're facing a health care crisis. Nurses know the only real solution to that crisis is Medicare for All!

Why are unions history's best weapon against fascism? Nurses break it down. 👇🧵 (1/8)

No surprise to nurses: CommonSpirit was named to @nationalcosh.bsky.social's ‘Dirty Dozen’ list of employers who put profits over patient safety. How does a "nonprofit" health care system rake in $1+ billion in profits? Unsafe staffing and workplace violence. 😡

Union nurses from 22 different states traveled to D.C. to share the reality of bedside experiences with elected leaders. We need our politicians to step up and fund care, not fear!

Nurses are calling out billionaire greed on the steps of Capitol Hill — corporations and billionaires have rigged our society to benefit the 1%, while the working class are squeezed more and more. Our demand for our legislators: fund care, not war and terror in our communities.

A true nurse champion, Rep. Adelita Grijalva, joined us for our federal lobby day! “Nurses are consistently named the most trusted profession in this country and as a member of congress, I know why. You are the first to advocate for patients when they need it most.”

Hundreds of nurses are in D.C. this week with a clear message for our elected officials: Fund care, not terror and #AbolishICE!

Nurses are the most trusted profession in the country. Why? Because we're not afraid to speak up for the truth! We're on day ✌in Washington, D.C. speaking out against a rigged society that benefits the 1%, while the working class are squeezed more and more.

Nurses are angry that Trump is spending our taxpayer dollars to illegally bomb countries like Iran and Lebanon into obliteration while we are completely abandoning our own people. The message is clear: Abolish ICE, end illegal wars, and fund health care!

Lawmakers in DC: hear us roar! 📢 Nurse leaders took the fight to #AbolishICE to the streets of our nation’s capital today — because our patients and communities deserve care, not terror!

Trump justifies spending millions to militarize our streets and billions to take us to war, but can't find the money for health care? We know what this is about: Making the rich richer at the expense of working class families. Nurses aren't going to look away or be silent!

With Trump's massive health care cuts, more of our patients will go without the care they need. Not because we don’t know how to save lives, but because politicians chose cuts over care. Hundreds of RNs are in Washington, D.C. this week to use our nurse power to fight back!

Nurses are patient advocates! Hundreds of us are in Washington, D.C. this week rallying and meeting with Congress to fight for our vision of a healthy society. One where we care for each other, where the wealthy pay their fair share, and everyone has their basic needs covered.

Zoe already knows one of the most important qualities of a nurse – advocating for your patients and community. We have no doubt she'll be an incredible nurse one day, just like her mom! ❤️

The Trump administration is defunding health care and funneling money to tech companies, defense contractors, and ICE. Nurses say: Stop the ICE terror at home and end Trump's war on Iran!

History is in the making! Nurses at Rush University just filed for a union election to join our union family — the largest NLRB filing on record in Chicago for health care, and one of the biggest in ANY industry in the city. We're ready. Join us.✊

Some good news: A federal court reversed key parts RFK Jr.'s dangerous vaccine schedule changes. But nurses know there's still a lot to be done to protect patients — his misinformation campaign has sown doubt about vaccines that will be hard to reverse. https://reut.rs/4e8CFsw

Even a family with two working adults and stable, well-paying jobs can be pushed into financial ruin by a single serious illness. That’s why we need CalCare and #MedicareForAll, now!

Arizona and Texas nurses took action this week to protest the billions that our government is funneling into ICE and CBP — to instill terror — and away from health care. Our patients and our communities deserve better than this! Union nurses say: #AbolishICE
