What the midterms taught us: A ‘PEOPLE’S WAVE’ is rising. And we WILL win Medicare for All.

Submitted by kblatt on
From record voter turnout — to mass grassroots door knocking, phone banking and volunteering, the win the pundits overlooked is the win of a rising “people’s wave.” This mass movement, a rebuke to the corporate agenda, is not beholden to election cycles or candidates, but rather to the issues themselves, from health care; to environmental, racial and economic justice; to voting rights.

Submitted by kblatt on

Last month we shared the story of RN’s from Johns Hopkins Hospital declaring their intent to organize a union with National Nurses United, the nation’s largest organization of Registered Nurses. We also talked about the aggressive campaign waged by Johns Hopkins against the nurses right to form a union, which is why the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) recently found merit to the charges brought by the nurses. With us to provide an update is Johns Hopkins RN Derek Jannarone.
