“National Nurses United stands in full support of the working people of Minnesota who are striking and reducing their economic activity to take a stand against ICE and the Trump administration. Union nurses understand the power of taking collective action against injustice – whether it’s a greedy boss cutting corners on patient care or a fascist administration deploying an illegal and inhumane deportation machine.”
Nurses are ready to elect leaders like Mai Vang who are prepared to protect our immigrant neighbors and fight back against the gutting of our health care programs and fight for our right to organize and collectively bargain.
