@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social joins NYSNA Nurses as we kick off our campaign to demand fair contracts to protect patient care for ALL New Yorkers!

“Nurses are here to make it very clear that: We care for ALL New Yorkers, we believe healthcare is a human right, and we will continue to advocate to ensure our patients get the care they deserve.” -Michelle Jones, MSN, RN, ANPC, NYSNA Secretary

Thank you, @nyclabor.bsky.social Secretary Treasurer Janella Hinds for affirming NYC- CLC’s support and commitment to New York nurses!

Thank you, Brooklyn Borough President @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social and Queens Borough President
@drichardsqns.bsky.social for joining NYSNA nurses as we launch our campaign for a fair contract to protect healthcare and safeguard quality care for ALL!

NYSNA Nurses won a historic contract victory in 2023. Our employers will tell us it’s time to lower our expectations. But we say, hell no! Nurses know ALL New Yorkers deserve access to quality care, and we won’t settle for less! 💪

Thank you to @nynurses.bsky.social for hosting this important conversation and to all the nurses who advocate every day for their patients.

I attended @nynurses.bsky.social Town Hall to hear from nurses & community members about the serious challenges facing health care in our region. The decision to end surgical services at Bellevue & move them to Ellis Hospital is the latest example of how hospital mergers can limit access to care

NYSNA Pres. Nancy Hagans, RN, kicks off today, “We are here representing 20k NYC nurses from all 5 boroughs—from the safety net hosp. to the academic medical centers. We are so powerful when we are united. Make no mistake, we are united to win respect for nurses and patients!”

Thrilled to join @nynurses.bsky.social last night to celebrate ratification of a new labor agreement with Albany Med that will ensure our nurses have the staffing, resources, and workplace protections they need to continue delivering compassionate care to folks across our Capital Region!

I want to congratulate the hardworking nurses for achieving this historic agreement and coming out in strong numbers today to remind us all of the power of organized labor - @nynurses.bsky.social

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system and have long been at the forefront of advocating for meaningful change in the workplace. This ratification marks a historic victory in the ongoing efforts to strengthen the future of Albany Medical Center. Congratulations to the nurses who fought tirelessly for safer working conditions and to @ NYSNA for their unwavering advocacy. I remain deeply and unwaveringly committed to supporting our nurses and advancing patient safety and workplace fairness.

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system and have long been at the forefront of advocating for meaningful change in the workplace. Congratulations to the nurses who fought tirelessly for safer working conditions and to @nynurses.bsky.social for their unwavering advocacy!

Patients over profits always.

NYSNA nurses @32bjseiu.bsky.social NY Hotel Trades and Gaming Council and @nyclabor.bsky.social are showing up #LaborStrong for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for NYC Mayor!

"Mamdani has shown up for nurses in our campaigns to increase funding for public hospitals, achieve pay equity for public sector nurses, prevent hospital closures, and protect NYC from future public health emergencies. Mamdani can count on NYSNA nurses for our support.” (3/3)

NYSNA President Nancy Hagans, RN, said, "NYSNA is proud to support Zohran Mamdani, a candidate who consistently puts the interests of working people first, and is glad that labor is coalescing around him to meet this moment..." (2/3)

NYSNA proudly endorses @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for mayor of New York City.

Zohran has consistently supported nurses fighting for respect. Now nurses are ready to fight for a mayor that puts working people first.

#NYCLaborVotes

Today is election day! NYSNA is out door-knocking with @nyclabor.bsky.social @local338.bsky.social @32bjseiu.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org and reminding NYers to vote for @alexaforcouncil.bsky.social and @shahanafrombk.bsky.social for NYC Council!

Let's do this!

NYSNA is deeply alarmed by the unwarranted escalation and arrest of NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate @bradlander.bsky.social by masked ICE agents. We call for his immediate release and for New York elected officials to condemn unlawful ICE tactics. Full statement:

NYSNA nurses and the entire NYC labor movement have significantly benefited from Pres. Alvarez's solidarity and friendship, which has helped us win strong contracts and fight for working people. We appreciate all he’s done for the labor movement and wish him the best.

@cndelarosa.bsky.social: Celebrated Nurses Week with @nynurses.bsky.social (5/14)

Thank you Council Member Amanda Farias for your support ahead of @nychealthsystem.bsky.social's Annual Meeting. No nurses should ever be forced to choose between their health and their job!

Thank you Assembly Member John Zaccaro, Jr. for uplifting H+H nurses' demands for a fair sick leave policy. We hope @nychealthsystem.bsky.social leadership listens to the nurses!

Thank you State Senator Nathalia Fernandez for supporting nurses ahead of tonight's @nychealthsystem.bsky.social's Annual Meeting at Jacobi Hospital!

Did you know that Medicaid pays for 1 in 4 dollars spent on mental health and substance use treatment?

Congress' attempts to cut Medicaid funding would put mental healthcare at risk for millions of Americans. Contact your reps to demand NO cuts to Medicaid.

I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible dedication and resilience of our nurses during Nurses Appreciation Week. I’ve had the honor of standing shoulder to shoulder with these healthcare heroes as the Upstate Political Director for @nynurses.bsky.social

For almost 70 years, the nurses at Elmhurst Hospital have been a cornerstone in Queens health care. I celebrated Nurses Week with these health care heroes, who show care, dedication, and compassion to our neighbors every single day @nynurses.bsky.social @nychealthsystem.bsky.social.

A large banner reads “Everybody In, Nobody Out — #PassNYHealth” and there are smaller signs for “Quality Care for All New Yorkers” and “Patients Over Profits”

Today is World Nurses Day! I wanted to take a moment to appreciate all our current & retired nurses for their tireless work in caring for all of us. Thank you in particular to @nynurses.bsky.social!
