California Nurses Association

Union nurses at Sacramento Kaiser joined thousands of nurses across Northern California to go on sympathy strike with @NUHW mental health care workers on strike for their patients. An injury to one is an injury to all!

Pope Leo this week called universal health coverage a "moral imperative." He also said: “Health cannot be a luxury for the few,” it is “an essential condition for social peace.”

RNs across Northern California went on sympathy strike today and joined the strike line with our union siblings at @NUHW. Kaiser wants to replace mental health therapists with A.I. We’re telling Kaiser management: Patients deserve real caregivers, not cost-cutting schemes.

🚨The Red Alert: Save Our Hospitals tour is rolling into Alameda this Saturday. Join us on March 21 for a family-friendly day of action: 🎸 Live music, 🌮 Free tacos, 📚 Book giveaways, and 🩺 Free wellness checks from nurses.

Nurses hit the ground running in Sacramento last week to talk about our newly introduced CalCare bill #AB1900. Our message to legislators is clear: California can fight back against Trump's health care cuts with #CalCare!

More than 23,000 Kaiser nurses across Northern California will hold a 24-hour sympathy strike on Wednesday alongside @NUHW mental health therapists. Together, we can show Kaiser management that health care workers stand united! nationalnursesunited.org/press/kaiser-n…

Nurses demand: ICE out of our communities. Our patients' rights have no borders!

Nurses will not allow A.I. to replace clinical judgment or justify staffing cuts that put patients at risk. Our fight against hospitals putting profits over patients is clear: technology must support care — not replace health care workers. time.com/7378075/the-pi…

While our tax dollars fund ICE raids, military escalation in Iran, and genocide in Gaza, communities here are being told there's "no money" for health care, housing, or basic human needs. This is not a budget crisis, it's a values crisis.

Instead of working with us to retain experienced nurses and save money, Contra Costa County is laying off the very people who have spent decades caring for our most vulnerable neighbors. We will not sit by while they take a hatchet to everything nurses have built.

This is the reality of California's broken health care system. Some patients are working two or three jobs and are still afraid to use the coverage they pay for because copays are unaffordable. #CalCare changes that. Everybody in. Nobody out.

We're joining State Senator @ilike_mike tomorrow night in Santa Rosa for a town hall on the health care crisis in our state, and why #CalCare is part of the solution. Join us! sd02.senate.ca.gov/march-10-healt…

#SafeStaffing isn't just a comfort object for nurses – it's the difference between life or death for our patients.

Community hospitals are paying the price for Trump’s health care cuts and patients are being left behind. But nurses aren't waiting for politicians to save us. We're building a movement to fight back! Our Red Alert: Save Our Hospitals tour is rolling into Alameda!

In our for-profit system, hospitals and insurers have no incentive to keep health care costs low. Nurses will continue fighting this profit-over-patient mentality until we have single-payer health care for every Californian with #CalCare! kffhealthnews.org/news/article/i…

CNA President Cathy Kennedy and other nurse leaders joined CNA-endorsed candidate for governor @TomSteyer in Sacramento tonight. Nurses are backing Steyer because he’s backing #CalCare. It is past time we guaranteed health care for every Californian.

As nurses, we believe that everybody needs access to care, regardless of race, nationality, religion, or creed. We’re calling out ICE for what it is – a public health threat.

I’m beyond proud to join the @AFLCIO Executive Council today! Our democracy and labor are under attack like never before. I look forward to being part of the leadership team that can marshal the power of working-class people to fight back. ✊🏽 ✊🏽 ✊🏽 nationalnursesunited.org/press/nnus-pun…

Nurses see it every day: Patients cutting their pills in half or skipping refills entirely. High deductibles pushing people into medical debt. Delaying care and ending up in the ER with conditions that could have been prevented. #CalCare means comprehensive care, guaranteed!

Hospitals cannot be healing spaces when armed agents stalk the parking lots and communities live in fear. We’re speaking up to name ICE and CBP for what they are: violent, cruel, and racist organizations that pose one of the greatest threats to public health.
