We must not standby. We must standup against injustice and human rights violations. That is exactly what Alex Pretti was doing. He deserves justice. We honor his legacy and call healthcare systems in Oregon to stand up for nurses and our communities and to hold ICE accountable. w/@sacredheartnurses

Reports that a family was detained by ICE while at a hospital for their 7-year-old child are very alarming. No parent or child should be subjected to this level of fear, especially in hospitals. They deserve access to quality and timely healthcare. Read more: Oregonrn.org/ICEDetainsFamilyatAdventist

Asante is turning away nurses that are willing and able to fill shifts while choosing to close units and run short-staffed. They are requiring nurses to sign away protected pay in order to fill shifts, an anti-union policy that is putting patients at risk.

Did you know that the National Institute of Nursing Research is one of the smallest and least funded institutes at the NIH, representing less than 0.4% of the total budget?

We’ve joined 225 Oregon orgs urging USDA Sec. Rollins and Congress to act now. Due to the shutdown, 757k+ Oregoniansβ€”1 in 6β€”could lose SNAP benefits in November even though the USDA has $5B to prevent this crisis.
