Today is the first day of nurses' three day strike in New Orleans! We're on strike at UMC New Orleans because we’re tired of seeing great nurses leave LCMC because of the working conditions here. Nurses, our patients, and our community deserve better!

Maine nurses at Houlton Regional Hospital are taking a powerful stand with a two-day strike to demand safe staffing and high quality care! We need a strong contract that protects us and our patients and attracts and retains excellent nurses. www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/houlto...

A strike is a last resort but University Medical Center is refusing to recruit and retain experienced nurses. We’re tired of the revolving door policy that puts profits ahead of patient care. ✊ www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/new-or...

Maine nurses from Portland and Bangor are united! We’re fighting for union contracts with enforceable safe staffing ratios. Our patients' lives depend on it.

When open enrollment starts tomorrow, most people will pay 2X the cost for premiums. Republicans — who stole nearly $1 trillion from working people & gave it to corporations as massive tax cuts — are to blame. Congress must restore health care funding now! https://bit.ly/4nt2J2M

Sure, the jump scares and decorations might be a little spooky, but know what's really scary? When our patients' lives are put on the line — all so the hospital execs can make more money.

Nurses from 8️⃣ facilities in California took to the strike lines today to say loud and clear: Our patients’ care should always matter more than your company’s profits.

Why are millions facing an huge spike in health care costs? Because Republicans stole $1TN from working people’s health care & food assistance and gave it to corporations as huge tax cuts. Congress: Restore health funding and reopen the government now! https://to.pbs.org/3WZ9I8K

This is a public health emergency! 🚨 Trump is choosing to cut off food benefits that keep 42MM people from starving. He's playing with peoples' lives in an attempt to bully Democrats into caving on a funding bill without securing health care protections for working people. (1/5)

Millions of people could lose food benefits because of the government shutdown. This admin has made a clear choice to starve people — to fund tax breaks for its billionaire friends & corporate donors. Reopen the government & restore health funding, now! https://bit.ly/4op1d2I

California voters: Nurses urge you to vote #YesOn50! The rest of the country is depending on you.

This is infuriating: Almost half of the people in the U.S. are concerned about being able to pay for the health care or medications they need. We need #MedicareForAll NOW.

If ICE comes into your facility, you and your patients have rights! Nurses can play an important role in ensuring our hospitals remain places of healing. ❤️✊

Running health care like a business has tragic results for our patients! A new study shows that when private equity takes over our hospitals, not only do prices go up — so do patient deaths. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/14/private-equity-hospitals-medicare-patient-deaths

Nurses say: ICE out of the Bay! Militarizing our neighborhoods endangers public health and safety. Immigrants are not criminals — they’re our our families, our friends, our patients, and they are us! www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/cna-co...

Four months ago SEIU USWW Pres. David Huerta was hurt, arrested & detained while exercising his First Amendment-protected rights to observe and document immigration enforcement activity. The gov't overstepped its prosecution and must drop ALL charges! www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nnu-co...

Maine nurses have been fighting for years for #SafeStaffing, but instead of listening to RNs, our employers have actively fought our attempts for nurse-to-patient ratios. Nurses from Maine Medical Center & Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center are standing together to win it in our contracts!

When workers stand together, we can be a real nightmare for bosses. 👻

Still thinking about how powerful this moment was when @CalNurses Association President Michelle Gutierrez Vo led 1,500 #UnionStrong nurses in a chant to show our collective power and solidarity. ✊❤️🎶

At #NoKings, NNU and NYSNA President Nancy Hagans, RN reminded us what real democracy looks like — working people standing together for a country we built. When nurses, workers, and our communities rise up, we’re building a future that puts #PeopleOverProfit.

In an incredible show of people power, millions marched today across the country to raise our voices in solidarity. We won't accept authoritarian rule that props up wealthy billionaires while working people struggle. America belongs to us. No thrones. No crowns. #NoKings! ✊

The Trump administration wants profiteering health care corporations and fascist crackdowns. But union nurses know what America really needs: #MedicareForAll and #NoKings! Sandy Reding, RN and CNA president reminds us: "Together, we can show them who’s really in charge!"

The people running our country want to destroy our health care, invade our cities, and turn a conman into a king. Not under nurses' watch! ❌👑 "We’re all here today because we REFUSE to let that happen," says Cathy Kennedy, RN and president of CNA. #NoKingsSF

🗣️ We’ve got the power! ⚡️ What kind of power? ✊ People power! Millions are taking to the streets to rally against wannabe dictator Donald Trump. Nurses stand against unchecked power that prioritizes corporate profits over the safety and well-being of our communities. #NoKings

From shutting down the gov't to sending masked agents into our streets to slashing essential health care services, the Trump admin is abusing power, and working people are paying the price. Nurses are joining #NoKings protests this weekend to speak out! https://bit.ly/4opjfBH

From Maine, to Kansas, to California, millions of people are expected to gather this weekend to make it clear to Trump and his enablers: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. The power belongs to the people! If you're in the Bay Area, join nurses 👇 https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/838825/

Join union nurses this Saturday, Oct. 18 for #NoKingsSanFrancisco! ✊❤️ Together we’re making it clear: America belongs to working people. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. Stand up for democracy. https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/838825/

A big win for nurses in California: @governor.ca.gov signed a new worker protection law that prohibits ‘stay-or-pay’ contracts that trap nurses and other workers in exploitative debt arrangements with employers. 🎉 www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/union-...

What a week of solidarity! ✊ Nurses from around the globe met in San Francisco to discuss the rise of authoritarianism & corporate wealth — and how workers have the power to stand up, fight back, and create a world that centers nurses' values of compassion, justice & care.

Have you been vaccinated for pertussis, aka whooping cough? It's safe AND effective!

Nurses are taking to the streets in San Francisco today to say it loud and clear: The nurses united will never be defeated! Whether it's a fight at our facility, at the federal level, or even an international struggle — nurses' power and influence is undeniable. #GNSA2025

🎤 @lizshuler.bsky.social, our union sister and fearless leader of the @aflcio.org, shared some important wisdom with nurses about the power of nurses to stand up — in elections, in the streets, in our workplaces, and everywhere our voices can make a difference! #GNSA2025

This morning, all four @calnurses.bsky.social presidents shared how collective strength, resistance, and resilience made a difference in their hospitals & communities. These same principles will help us fight attacks against unions and our health care, and fight for our patients. #GNSA2025

These nurses represent 2.5 million nurses & health care workers in 29 countries around the world! 🌍🤝🏥 Global Nurses United gathered today to discuss attacks on global public health and the rise of fascism. Together, nurses can create a world that centers care instead. #GNSA2025

HCA: We don't buy your marketing ploys. We know what #SafeStaffing really looks like — and this isn't it.

Say it louder for the people in the back: Every nurse needs a union! 🗣️ Union nurses have a message for corporate giants like HCA — the largest & richest hospital chain in the U.S. — watch out. Unity is our power.

LCMC sure likes to tout its “Spirit of Charity” — even when the record is clear that University Medical Center New Orleans hardly gives back to the community. Nurses protested outside the Spirit of Charity Gala to draw attention to the hypocrisy. Our patients deserve better!

Israel’s occupation and genocide against Palestine would not be possible without U.S. aid. It’s time for the working class to get loud and demand a permanent ceasefire and a #FreePalestine. 🇵🇸 www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nnu-an...

Trump’s power grabs in states like Texas show what’s at stake. Union nurses support #YesOnProp50 to block his influence in California and protect our voice to help elect leaders who will protect public health and put our patients first.

Nurses are setting the record straight on the shutdown and who is to blame — the Trump administration and Republicans determined to privatize public services. Here's what's at stake and what our leaders SHOULD do. 🧵👇 (1/5)

The Trump administration manufactured this shutdown to further their agenda of privatizing public services. Nurses call on Congress to pass H.R. 5450/S. 2882 to restart the government and save lives by restoring health care funding and assistance! https://bit.ly/3Wfvk07

Management at HCA Healthcare is bragging about its goal to hire 100 new nurses at Mission Hospital, but 150 have left in the past three months. Union nurses in Asheville took action today to say it loud and clear: 🗣️ Recruitment without retention is a scam!

Along with nurses around the globe, we are grieving the murder of Dr. Mohammed Akram Al-Kafarneh, head of the Palestinian Nursing Association in the Gaza Strip. We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian colleagues against this outrageous violence. www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nurses...

California nurses: Vote #YesOnProp50! Prop 50 is an emergency, temporary measure to protect working people in the face of Trump's attempts to steal congressional representation from Black and Latino voters in Texas, Missouri, and other states.

That feeling when you win a union = unmatched 🙌 Strong nurse voices mean stronger patient advocacy. Every patient deserves union nurses!

📢 Kaiser gets paid off, nurses get laid off! Kaiser made $13 BILLION dollars last year and yet they’re laying off nurses? This week, union nurses across California stood together in a day of action at 22 facilities to demand patients before profits.

21 unions and faculty groups are suing Trump over a $1.2-billion fine against UCLA. Trump is illegally forcing his politics on education through financial coercion and constitutional violations. Enough is enough. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Over 80% of nurses have faced workplace violence. Congress must act. Prevention starts with #SafeStaffing.

Today, 25,000 union nurses at Kaiser Permanente are rising up at 2️⃣2️⃣ California hospitals to demand #PatientsOverProfits. Kaiser is making billions while laying off nurses, stealing wages, and pushing unsafe A.I. in our hospitals. Enough is enough!

Union nurses are protecting our patients against ICE in our hospitals because care has no borders. Solidarity means standing up for every patient, every community, every nurse.
