The People vs. AI Across red states and blue, a grassroots movement is pushing back on the unchecked growth of the artificial intelligence industry.

Not only does A.I. in our hospitals threaten patient safety – data centers in our communities drive up electricity costs and pollute neighborhoods.

This is a public health crisis.

Nurses are proud to endorse Connie Chan for CA-11! Connie has always been a fierce defender of immigrant rights and a champion of single-payer health care.

We need leaders like Connie in Congress who will fight to restore health care cuts and stop funding ICE.

In 1992, when 1,700 workers went on strike for seven weeks at Oakland's Summit Medical Center, Rev. Jesse Jackson walked the picket line with us. He stood shoulder to shoulder with five unions fighting for justice.

Rest in power, Rev. Jackson, we'll keep fighting from here. ✊❀️

The advocacy of everyday Minnesotans and nurses across the country helped make this possible, but many will be scarred from the past two months. ICE is a public health threat! https://bit.ly/4qFKM2C

β€œReforms” to ICE are not enough. Abolish ICE Now. National Nurses United provided the following response ahead of the House vote on H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, which includes a two-week Continuing Resolution for the Department of Homeland Security.

"Reforms" to ICE, like requiring judicial warrants for arrests, are not enough. This administration has made it clear that they have no intention of abiding by the law. Anything short of stripping funding from this tyrannical agency is failure by Congress.
