Ascension claims to stand on Catholic values — but our patients and communities deserve more than words. Nurses see every day where their actions fall short. We hope this is a wake-up call to Catholic leadership.

Nurses see the health impacts of climate change, heat, smoke, and pollution every day. Today we marched with 350.org, Women's March, and climate justice allies in NYC to demand we #MakeBillionairesPay and prioritize people over profit!

Unions boost wages 🚀 On average, a union worker earns 12.8% more in wages than their nonunionized peers. But unions don’t just help union workers—they help ALL workers by raising standards. Read our new report about how unions are good for workers AND communities: www.epi.org/publication/...

Who can you count on to never stop fighting? Union nurses!

Hospital management at Ascension Saint Agnes told us that they are OK with ‘suboptimal’ patient care. 🤯 Well, nurses aren't! That's why we went on strike — to push back and make sure Ascension gives our patients the quality care they deserve.

Time and again, RNs at Saint Agnes in Baltimore are pressured to care for too many patients. That has a direct impact on patient care: longer wait times to get call lights answered, medication delays, increased patient falls. We're striking because Ascension can, and must, do better!
