[1]National Nurses United



Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, hospital employers and our elected
officials have continued to choose and prioritize profits over nurse and
patient safety. Their greed has directly resulted in the deaths of more
than 400 registered nurses and thousands of other health care workers, in
addition to the over half a million Americans who have died from this
virus.

So as we close out the end of Nurses Week tomorrow — a week that is
supposed to be about celebrating and honoring nurses and our work — I
can’t help but think about those who aren’t with us today. It didn’t have
to be this way.

That’s why I wanted to share — for the last time — an opportunity to join
us tomorrow at our Day of Remembrance event. Join us as we honor, reflect
upon, and read the names of the 400 nurses who have lost their lives to
Covid-19 over the past year.

Make no mistake: This is by far the most
powerful way to show your solidarity as we continue to demand change for
workers, patients, and our communities. Your presence at this event
matters.

to join us for our virtual Day of Remembrance event, happening tomorrow,
May 12, at 6 pm PT/9 pm ET. Will you join us?

As we continue to navigate our health care system, during the pandemic and
beyond, we must never forget those who have died throughout this pandemic,
and we must resolve to honor the fallen and fight for the living. We hope
to see you tomorrow, and thank you for standing with us.

anger, and resolve that surrounds this week. [ [link removed] ]Please read and share her
