Our patients deserve better.

Anaheim nurses know how to take action when management forces us into unsafe staff assignments. We’re always ready to fight for real solutions! https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/article/anaheim-nurses-strike-for-safe-staffing

This list is our reminder and our fuel for the fights ahead in 2026. Our collective strength is unstoppable!

Here’s to building working class power in 2026. 👏 Advance the movement for #CalCare, 👏 Stop the billionaire plundering of our collective resources, 👏 Organize union power across the workforce, and 👏 Fight for the dignity of all of our patients!

High-deductible plans and health savings accounts are a far cry from the relief our patients need. Nurses know the only way to address the health care crisis is with single-payer. Californians can lead the way with #CalCare in 2026!

This holiday, we celebrate the solidarity that fuels our work and wish our patients the health, safety, and dignity they deserve all year-round.

A holiday party during day shift in an administration conference room is not a solution for unsafe staffing. We demand real action for #SafeStaffing in 2026.

Last night, union nurses at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs held a candlelight vigil and food drive, standing in solidarity for patient safety!

San Francisco, you are now a 100% union nurse town! 🎉 Nurses at @SutterHealth CPMC Davies just voted to join CNA, which now represents nearly 9,000 Sutter RNs in Northern California. This is a huge step forward for patient care in our community!

Nurses gathered last night with community members and our UPTE-CWA union siblings to mourn the tragic murder of Alberto Rangel at ZSFG and demand what we’ve always needed: #WorkplaceViolenceProtections

On the line at MarinHealth this morning: RNs calling out unsafe staffing, skyrocketing proposed health costs, and cuts to shift incentives. Nurses can’t care for our community if the hospital won’t care for its nurses.

When nurses at Kaiser South San Francisco learned that CBP was in the hospital with a detained patient, we took action quickly to send a clear message to management: Our patients’ rights have no borders and hospitals must remain a place of healing! ICE isn't welcome here!

Management at @MyMarinHealth Medical Center in Greenbrae are putting profits over patients. We’re picketing on Friday to demand #SafeStaffing now! https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/marinhealth-medical-center-nurses-to-hold-informational-picket-for-patient-safety

Putting a "non-professional" limit on loans for our advanced degrees is an insult to our clinical expertise. Let your communities know – this DOE proposal must be stopped!

CNA president Sandy Reding, RN spoke alongside Rep. Laura Friedman on the attempt to undermine the health care workforce and weaken our collective voice. Excluding nurses from graduate professional degree loans threatens patient care!

When our patients can barely afford their monthly premiums, we know they're going to avoid seeking care when they need it — all because they're afraid of the bills. Our system is terribly broken and we deserve better. We need #CalCare!

80 years ago, nurses got their first-ever collective bargaining agreement with CNA! Strong contracts = a strong voice for patient advocacy!

Today, nurses uplift and celebrate those who came before us. Find out what California ancestral land you're on: http://bit.ly/4a2xHeS

Imagine working in the ER when you see a woman screaming and throwing herself off the gurney. As a nurse, you'd rush over to assess the patient. That's exactly what Dianne Sposito, RN tried to do — until ICE stepped in to stop her. Read the full story.👇 https://bit.ly/3LOnh8P

When Republican's Medicaid cuts go into effect, hospitals across the country risk shutting down. And these closures don’t always happen in rural areas like you might think. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/upshot/urban-hospitals-medicaid-cuts.html

When our rights are under attack, what do we do? Union nurses stand up and fight back! ✊

Congratulations to the 25K UC nurses who ratified a new contract with important patient protections, like curbing the rampant misuse of floating and ensuring safeguards on A.I. 🎉 This new contract will ensure we are given the resources to care for our patients & ourselves!

Kaiser nurses spent the last few months flexing their patient advocacy muscles! 💪 https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/article/kaiser-nurses-protest-statewide

RNs at USC Keck and Norris are holding an info picket next Tuesday for patient safety. We missed thousands of meal and rest breaks last year because of USC's unsafe staffing. Enough is enough! https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/usc-nurses-to-hold-informational-picket-for-patient-safety

Are Republicans and Trump proud of making people cry when they see devastating increases in their health care costs for next year? And all for what — so our federal government could give tax breaks to corporations and billionaires? Shameful! https://bit.ly/4plzUXu

Yesterday, the Protect America’s Workforce Act discharge petition reached 218 congressional signatures in the House, allowing it to move quickly to a vote on the House floor. Now, we need the House to stand up for workers and call a vote on it! https://bit.ly/3XnsXJz

University of California nurses had a BIG weekend! Give it up for the 25,000 UC nurses across our state. ✊💪

This should be a wake-up call for our elected officials — more and more people cannot afford health care. Especially as premiums have skyrocketed for next year. Nurses have a solution: #CalCare

WE WON!!! The US District Court for the Northern District of California has issued a preliminary injunction in AAUP et al v. Trump et al (the wall to wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of Title VI to reshape the University of California system. Read the order here:

This retired California couple is looking at a 800% increase in their health care costs! If we had a single-payer health care system that wasn't tied to employment, this wouldn't be an issue. More than ever, we need #CalCare. https://bit.ly/4oCPcXC

Give it up for the mighty, mighty nurses at Sutter Davis who fought hard and just won their first-ever contract! This is a massive victory for nurses and for our patients! 🎉

San Francisco is a sanctuary city and nurses will fight to keep it that way! ICE out of our communities! ✊

Nurses who care for veterans have a simple message this Veterans Day: We need full collective bargaining rights to advocate freely for our patients and provide the best care possible at the VA! It's what our veterans deserve. 🇺🇸

Trump thinks he can bully UC Health into stopping gender-affirming care and allowing ICE raids, but nurses refuse to stand by as he threatens care for our patients and tries to make our hospitals unsafe!

There is no #NursingShortage! Licensed nurses won’t stay silent while hospital bosses gamble with patients' lives for profit.

UC nurses are joining our union siblings at @afscme3299.bsky.social and @uptecwa.bsky.social for a sympathy strike on Nov. 17 & 18. We stand united against UC's attempts to cut corners and deprive our coworkers of fair contracts. If you take on one of us, you take on all of us!

Nurses in Bakersfield and San Diego took action outside our representatives' offices to protest SNAP cuts, skyrocketing health care premiums, and tax breaks for billionaires. Our message? It's time to pass a clean resolution bill that funds health care for working class people.

Proposition 50 passes! 🎉 This is an incredible victory to protect democracy and combat Trump’s congressional power grab. Nurses and other volunteers knocked on 17,000 doors and made almost 400,000 calls urging voters to say #YesOnProp50. THIS is the power of patient advocacy!

It's Election Day! 🗳️ Nurses urge you to vote #YesOnProp50 — it's our chance to stand up for patients, communities, and workers under attack. Find and visit your closest polling location before 8 p.m. TODAY: https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place

Only two days remain to vote #YesOnProp50! Join nurses and find the easiest way to vote near you: https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov/

It’s the final weekend before Election Day! Nurses are out in San Jose today urging voters to say #YesOnProp50 for our patients, for our communities, and for all working class people!

⏰ The countdown is on! Only 2 days left to turn in your ballot, California — let’s get it done!

From gutting Medicaid to failing to pass a budget bill that ensures our health care costs don’t skyrocket, Trump and Republicans continue to attack our patients. Nurses are voting #YesOn50 to fight back and speak up for Black, Brown, and working class people across this country.

From rising premiums and cuts to Medi-Cal to expiring SNAP funds, we're facing a public health emergency. Republicans are prioritizing corporate tax cuts over struggling families. Congress must vote to restore health care funding & reopen the government. https://lat.ms/4oJCpCz

Nurses support Proposition 50 because it fights back against Trump’s power grab and levels the playing field. We're five days out from election day, make sure to get your ballots in and vote #YesOn50!

Attention California voters! Prop 50 is on your ballot this November 4. Trump's cuts to Medicaid have our communities paying the price. We must fight back and protect health care. Vote #YesOnProp50!

We’re not buying Tenet’s excuses for short-staffing our units. We know why they’re doing it: to make more money. Tenet is a multibillion dollar company that made more than $4BN in profits last year. Nurses are on strike with a clear message: It’s time to put #PatientsOverProfits

It’s a beautiful day for an #RNStrike for safe staffing and patient care! ☀️ Tenet makes billions. We know they have the resources to do the right thing, and union nurses across California won’t back down until they put patient care over profits.

For too many nurses at USC Keck, taking a break to eat, use the bathroom, or just have a breather during our 12-hour shifts is impossible. Nurses are on the strike line today bright and early to say ENOUGH! Nurses and our patients deserve #SafeStaffing.

Our union is strong. A union card isn’t a gym membership — it’s power. We are the union: showing up, speaking out, and fighting together for safe patient care and respect on the job.
