It's time to #TaxTheRich! Thanks @sanders.senate.gov for rallying NY to do the right thing! As NYSNA Pres. Hagans said, "It’s not enough to beat back the attacks from the Trump administration. We also have to show who we are as New Yorkers—by putting our money where our mouth is!"

NYC nurses like Sheryl Ostroff, RN, are fearless, brave, and taking a stand for safety. They want to keep caring for NY but need CEOs to invest in workplace violence protections and negotiate fair contracts. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/opinion/nurse-strike-new-york-workplace-violence.html

NewYork-Presbyterian and Mount Sinai board member Brad Karp, a billionaire power broker, appears hundreds of times in the Epstein files, with records of years of social ties. Can board members like this be trusted to protect healthcare for New Yorkers? www.NYChospitalgreed.com

24 Years! 🎉 Americans have ranked nurses as the most trusted profession! This honor goes to all our members for their commitment to caring and advocating for our patients and our communities! Management can try to paint nurses as villains, but everyone knows who the real heroes are!

When the weather gets cold, we turn up the heat on the picket line! Last night, we saw little progress at negotiations at NewYork-Presbyterian. Nurses put forward a revised set of proposals that hospital executives rejected without offering a counter proposal.

Today at Mount Sinai Morningside, nurses gave harrowing testimony about the violent conditions they experience at work—often exacerbated by unsafe staffing levels. If safety-net hospitals can deliver fair contracts, so can Montefiore Health System, Mount Sinai NYC, and NewYork-Presbyterian.

Powerful message from Nataki Jarrett, RN at Mount Sinai West. "To every nurse standing here today: Your voice matters. Your courage and your story matter. We became nurses because we care."

One day longer, one day stronger! Management can paint nurses as villains all they want, but everyone knows who the real heroes are! It's time for management to put patients over profits and negotiate fair contracts now! #NYCNurseStrike
