Hi John,

My name is Nella. I’m a New York City-based nurse as well as a member of
the Nurses Union. Years ago, I made a commitment to care for people from
communities affected by the climate crisis. That’s why I’m joining the
Global Climate Walk Out September 20th-27th. 

The current climate crisis will not leave any part of the world unscathed
by disaster, and families like mine in the Philippines are currently on
the frontlines dealing with the impacts. I feel a deep responsibility to
take action before it’s too late, and I’m hoping you will feel the same.

[ [link removed] ]Watch this short video of union workers like me and join us on the
streets September 20th-27th. Let’s show the world what taking action on
climate looks like - the climate crisis won’t wait, so neither should we.

I’ve seen first-hand how the climate crisis is impacting my home
communities in New York and the Philippines. In 2013, when SuperStorm
Sandy ravaged NYC, it was nurses like myself that were there as first
responders, evacuating patients from hospitals and filling in the gaps
where traditional relief efforts were slow to respond.

Only a year later, Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines and I stepped in as
a medical responder to take care of survivors from the devastating
aftermath. As long as we continue to allow the fossil fuel industry to
drive the climate crisis, workers will continue to bear the brunt of
climate chaos. Enough is enough; another future is possible if we all show
up and demand it. 

[ [link removed] ]Check out the map of Climate Strike events (there are already over a
100 across the US) to find one near you and RSVP for it. If one doesn’t
exist, consider hosting an action yourself - our organizers will walk you
through each step. 

This strike is for everyone. Millions of school strikers, who have been
taking to the streets calling for bold climate action for over a year,
want people of all ages to join them — including parents, teachers,
workers, retirees and all concerned people.

This year’s student climate strikes align with nursing values – like
caring for one another. And with our union values – like solidarity. And
on the most basic human value – survival. Let’s not miss our moment. 

In unity,

Nella
