Election Alert – Vote NO on the California Governor Recall
California Nurses Association is urging all California members to vote NO on the recall of Governor Gavin Newsom in the election currently underway.
Nurses have endured far too much from the Covid-19 pandemic. But we also know the terrible toll of this pandemic would have been far worse without the safety measures that have been in place under Gov. Newsom.
With cases rising amid the current, more transmissible Delta surge, this is not the time to throw out public health and safety protections. Yet that is what will happen if the recall passes.
All of the leading candidates are calling for a rollback of public health measures that protect the lives and health of millions of Californians, including nurses, our co-workers, and our families. That would certainly include all workplace safety protections opposed by the California hospital industry, from safe staffing to workplace violence prevention.
CNA urges you to Vote NO on Question 1.
