Meghan Colleran, ARNP, knows the power of a collective voice from her union experience as a bedside nurse ✊ Now she's fighting for that solidarity at Community Health of Central Washington, because patients need advocates with a real voice in care decisions. #unionyes 🗳️

After 40 years in pediatric medicine, Dr. Jeff Bartlett is seeing healthcare decisions made without frontline voices. We know what our patients need, but our expertise isn't always heard. It's time for a unified voice that can't be ignored. That's why he's #unionyes 🩺

Unionizing isn’t just about contracts—it’s about taking your power back, having a say in your workplace, and ensuring your value is respected. No one can take away your legal right to organize. Workers before us fought for it, now it’s time to exercise that right. ✊

Update for our anesthesiologists working at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles 📣 Contract language has been secured for Personnel Files—our first win at the table and it won’t be our last! Progress is also being made on several other key proposals, such as non-discrimination & grievance and arbitration.

Our frontline physicians in San Francisco spoke with @scottwiener.bsky.social about the devastating impact of Medicaid cuts and the urgent need to protect care. Physician voices—backed by clinical expertise—are essential. Healthcare policy must be shaped by those who provide it. ✊📣

There is nothing beautiful about ripping healthcare away from 17+ million people. We stand with our patients as their fiercest advocates. This fight isn't over—organize, demand action, call your representatives. Hold them accountable. Read our official statement here:

Our members at Gardner Health Services providing care to Santa Clara County have ratified a one-year extension, protecting all benefits, terms, and conditions outlined in our previous contract 📝 In addition to a 3% wage increase for our clinicians.

This “Big Beautiful Bill” is a direct attack on our health and our communities. Stripping millions of people of access to critical healthcare services isn’t beautiful—it’s cruel, dangerous, and unacceptable. 📞 Call your rep today to demand they vote NO on this bill. Lives are on the line.

One of our physicians, Dr. Sugarman, whose patients depend on the DC Healthcare Alliance, spoke out against the proposed cuts that would leave her patients and many other individuals in the DC community without care. We demand a budget that prioritizes the preservation of patient health and dignity.

Cheers to a great weekend with our UB residents and fellows  🎉 We had an incredible time welcoming our new incoming class of residents and fellows—along with celebrating our graduates 🥳  #1u #union #unionstrong #residency #medicine

Men, asking for help isn't a sign of weakness - it's a sign of strength. We cannot let societal pressures and expectations prevent men from speaking up and seeking the support they deserve. Let's normalize checking in and speaking up about mental health 🧠 #mensmentalhealthmonth

UAPD is proud to stand in solidarity with @nuhw.org on the strike line at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, CA. When healthcare workers take action, we stand beside them -- their fight to protect patients and demand respect on the job uplifts us all. ✊

We are proud to endorse @seanryanforbuffalo.bsky.social! As Senator, he has proven he's a true ally to the people and understands that a strong community is built on solidarity.  He is a man of action and that's the kind of leadership the city of Buffalo deserves. ✊🗳️

Honoring the LGBTQIA+ community this PRIDE month 🏳️‍🌈 Affirming care saves lives - but too many still face barriers and discrimination. Healthcare is a fundamental human right and everyone deserves safety, dignity, and support when seeking care. #healthequity #healthcarejustice #health

To our devoted clinicians who are fathers and father figures, we celebrate you this Father's Day 💙 Your compassion and commitment to caring for your patients and caring for your families has a lasting impact. Thank you for all you do on and off the clock. #fathersday

From California to New York, we stood united at the #NoKings protests. Millions across the country came together to stand up for democracy and push back against abuses of power. Our rights and our humanity are worth protecting. Stand up, fight back against the forces that divide us. ✊

The Legislature has released its version of the State budget -- rejecting the Governor's proposed wage freeze for State workers! Please continue to contact your elected representatives and tell them: the State cannot balance the budget on the backs of State workers who keep California running. ✊

We stand with immigrant communities because solidarity strengthens our voice and our resolve. ✊ These struggles are interconnected - the fight for immigrant rights is the fight for workers' rights, for community health, and for human dignity.

We demand the release of David Huerta, SEIU President. His detention & brutal assault is a direct attack on our right to organize, peacefully protest, & advocate for workers' rights. We stand united with our union siblings, immigrant communities, and all working people currently under attack.

The California Labor Movement stands in strong solidarity with our brother David Huerta. We demand his immediate release! @seiuca.bsky.social

Today, we stood alongside our union siblings to send a powerful message loud and clear 📣🪧 Governor Newsom cannot balance the state’s budget on the backs of its workers who keep California running ‼️ #1u #solidarity #union #unionstrong #california #workers #stateworkers #unionpower #unionize
