“As patient advocates, we are deeply invested in fighting and campaigning for a presidential ticket that champions our nursing values of care, compassion, and community. With President Biden’s recent announcement that he will no longer be seeking re-election, NNU elected nurse leaders — representing your facilities across the country — came together to assess how to move forward in a way that best protects our patients and public health.
We’re proud and excited to announce that NNU nurse leaders have voted to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Want to know more? Here are some of the top reasons nurses back Vice President Harris for president:
According to nurses, reasons for the Harris endorsement include:
Vice President Harris supports working people and families. In her tenure as vice president, Kamala Harris has provided the tie-breaking votes for critical legislation, including the American Rescue Plan, which provided stimulus checks to working people across America and ensured a comprehensive pandemic response program. She also provided the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which included a landmark victory to reduce the prices of prescription drugs and critical provisions to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Vice President Harris stands up for union workers. Nurses say they are proud to back a candidate who played a critical role in the most pro-labor administration in modern history. She worked to save the pensions of more than 1 million union workers and retirees, has stood in solidarity with striking union workers, and chaired the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, which is aimed at helping workers join labor unions and bargain collectively. Vice President Harris has supported the NNU-backed Protecting the Right to Organize Act, a bill to protect workers' rights to organize unions and collectively bargain without fear of retaliation, and the NNU-backed VA Employee Fairness Act, which grants full collective bargaining rights to RNs and other clinicians in the Veterans Health Administration—helping to ensure our nation’s heroes receive the highest quality care. Vice President Harris is a powerful advocate in key health care fights, including the fight to defend and restore reproductive health rights. Nurses note that Vice President Harris has consistently defended the Affordable Care Act and Medicare from attacks, has supported efforts to reduce medical debt, and has championed the new staffing standards for nursing homes achieved by the Biden-Harris administration. She has also supported the important health and safety regulations issued by the Biden-Harris administration, including a landmark Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) temporary standard mandating optimal Covid protections for health care workers. Harris has toured nationwide in support of reproductive health care rights. Vice President Harris has a career-long track record of backing legislation to protect patients and nurses. In her time as a U.S. senator, nurses emphasize Vice President Harris cosponsored NNU-backed health care legislation, including federal safe nurse-to-patient staffing limits, Medicare for All, and a bill to prevent workplace violence in health care settings. As attorney general of California, where NNU represents more than 100,000 RNs, Kamala Harris also stood up for nurses and patients, including backing RNs in their fight to protect the state board of registered nursing from efforts to eliminate it and holding hospital corporations accountable. As a women-dominated profession, with many nurses being women of color, we could not be more proud and excited to endorse Kamala Harris and fight to make history in November. Please stay tuned for opportunities to support her campaign!

All sorts of nonsense from this man who probably feels like he’s a mature man
How can you unleash violence like this from afar and think that you can have absolute control over the outcome?
Does he really think because he told them beat him only a little that he’s exempt from the consequences of this murder? He better stay in Germany and never come back home ever again in his life
1stGenAmerican: Yum, looks so good. I would’ve started with the olives and marinated mozzarella, two of my favorites, and ate my way all across the board. This is my favorite type of grazing food!
1stGenAmerican: They refuse to think before they speak and others just agree with them. They’re more threatened by feminism than they are by the thriving politicians who are bankrupting African countries.
Why should they talk about how to move the giant of Africa forward when they can complain about feminism in a far away land ?
That’s why they are so susceptible to Republican propaganda. No thoughts. Just vibes and bigotry and they eat up whatever they are told.
If you didn’t live here you’d think that as soon as one steps out of their door, the alphabet mafia will ask them to swear allegiance to the rainbow flag and participate in some same sex smooches 💋 before they can proceed. 😂
I’ve NEVER had one alphabet person bother me ever in my life here. But Nigerians on NL swear they are running amok and destabilizing everything.
1stGenAmerican: It’s an invalid point. Nigerians are obsessed with LGBTQ more than anyone here in America. So many sub-Saharan countries are wasting resources to criminalize LGBTQ instead of making living conditions better for their citizens. Feminism and LGBTQ isn’t acceptable in many African countries, including Nigeria—tell me, what is the excuses for those countries still falling behind everywhere else? Is it the Feminists and LGBTQ robbing the citizens blind and using the country’s money like it’s their own personal funds?
efighter: It’s a new beginning, unfortunately if and when she gets there, she may propose laws to be making men to change their surnames to their wives’ maiden names after wedding
There’s not even a law that forces women to change their last names to husbands’ last names. It’s all tradition and people choose to do it or not. I don’t know how certain things make sense to some of you
1stGenAmerican: Dummies. They don’t see how he left the last group holding the bag and serving federal sentences? Then, the recording surfaced with him admitting he knew he’d lost. Idiots never learn.
More of them will go to jail again this time 😉
All their useless threats of violence makes me wonder if they think they’re the only ones who are armed. We are armed too but don’t make noise about it. Because we understand violence is only necessary for self defense not for when you are not getting your way.
I can’t wait to see them get what they are asking for with these violent threats
1stGenAmerican: Trump himself knows that he is going to lose. He’l just try to trick gullible people into thinking the election was stolen, just like he did in 2020.
And try to manipulate them into getting violent. As usual.
They can already read the handwriting on the wall and they calling for civil war if and when he loses.
Waywardson6: Taser? As a person of colour, you clearly know you are not liked. You won't put yourself in any position to be attacked. She touching the hot pot was grounds for him to attack her. The body cam is evidence of what happened, imagine cases where body cam are not present.
SMH we’ll never be free.
Some of yall will do anything to be on the slave masters side
Waywardson6: OP stop being bias with your news writing. When a police is on scene, one is authorized to raise their hands or stand still without holding anything. She carrying a pot of hot boiling water can definitely be perceived as a weapon & attempt to attack the officer with it. He saw her as a threat, plus she told him: "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." Definitely, she sounded unstable & a threat to him. Fact, racism is real, but at the same time, doing what is right at the right time is also very important.
Then they’ll tell you that you’re being victim minded for pointing these out
elfico: She raised her hands, dropped the kettle, went down, and still got shot.
She was checking her kettle and he had his hands on his gun.
When some people tell African Americans to move on from all the years of oppression, this is why they don't. The racial discrimination never stopped it just became state (police) sanctioned.
You know a country is a jungle when the first action of the police is to use their guns. Same as their counterparts in Nigeria.
He promised them 100% immunity to do whatever they want when he’s in office
under a second Trump administration is a “shorthand message promising repression of the Black community.” Specifically, Trump’s law enforcement policies call for further protections for abusive police, including condoning the use of force against protesters, which he once described as a “beautiful thing to watch.” This rhetoric risks encouraging state actors to take a similarly brutal approach.
Ebeano49: Gislover, a very popular blog is not that random though, is it? And yes, if you are so accused and your marriage is on the line, your response should be more forceful than what I'm watching here. Addressing him with such reverence will be the least of your worry, unless you no kuku send your marriage/husband/reputation or your husband approves the shenanigan.
It’s a faceless blog. So that’s as random as they come.
Being disrespectful to someone you were accused of cheating with solves no problem as long as the person isn’t the one spreading the rumors. If anything it unnecessarily burns bridges that could have led to profitable dealings in the future given that they are all in the Nigerian political society together. I don’t know them personally but I don’t think it would favor the egbuson’s or their in-laws for her to come online and insult this senator just because a third party made a false accusation. Use your grown up mind pls .
PS I watched the video and I don’t see the reverence you’re talking about. She was just polite towards him and that’s grown woman behavior
AmazonTopaz: I am happy Democrats united and stopped the fighting.
Joe Biden played the ultimate boss card when he chose a time to step down that wouldn’t give enough room/time for the party members to start infighting. I love that he did that. Now they have to fall on line behind Kamala as she’s picking up steam and support from all the young people.
Also Remember when he said he would be a one term president? They really didn’t listen. He’s been planning this for years. He Ignored Trump and his rag tag group while they spent millions campaigning against him. Now they don’t have any choice but to re-strategize because their campaign is centered around disparaging Joe. No policy no plans. Just “Fvck Joe Biden”. Now Joe Biden is gone what are they going to do? All their anti Joe Biden Merch. 🤣😂
This is going to be the epic show down of all elections.
Ebeano49: Forget that thing! A married woman accused of such damaging act will not be worried about disrespecting anyone to clear her name.
I’m married. If a random third party accuses me of being one senator’s side chick like that so I’m just supposed to start insulting the senator to clear my name?
Anytime these bloggers abi Temu secret agents want to release what they think is scandalous information on someone, it’s always who’s sleeping with who
Why are they sex obsessed? Just unproductive on so many levels
They know. And when they do know, they don’t care.
That man is one of the most horrible people to walk this earth and they tout him as chosen by God. Which God? The God of anarchy? I truly marvel at my people
How many people has sesame street done brutal takedowns like this of? When a children's show comes all out for you, it says alot about your character
Nigerians somehow do not know or do not care about trumps history. They don't know about stormy, grab em by the pussy, trump wrecking contractors, his dodgy business dealings
Then again as Africans we have been conditioned to love strongmen who claim complex problems can easily be solved and who verbally commit to dealing with others. And of course most Nigerian blacks identify with conservatives.
They do not recognize dog whistles, play model minority and take not growing up with systemic racism for granted. Somehow they do not realize it is liberals who they hate that are pro immigration. Or maybe as religious types do they think - my case will be different.
I got into a fight on one WhatsApp group where some guy shared a post where he said trump was chosen by God because of some of his pandering anti lgbtq comments. Of course this guy knew nothing about stormy etc
