National Nurses United PAC: Fund for a Healthy America
Caring, compassion, and community — these are the values at the heart of registered nursing. This is true at the bedside, as nurses advocate for patients and families — and also beyond the walls of the hospital in our communities. National Nurses United, which represents nearly 225,000 nurses nationwide, seeks to uphold that positive vision for the health of this country by supporting federal government policies and candidates who champion nurses’ values. We do this through the National Nurses United Fund for a Healthy America, a non-partisan political action committee.
Under federal law, the PAC cannot be financed by union dues money. Instead, it is solely dependent on voluntary contributions. Such contributions to the PAC are an important way nurses can advocate for our values in government, at the ballot box, and in our communities.
NNU’s Fund for a Healthy America supports candidates who champion the issues that matter most to RNs and who Vote Nurses’ Values:
- Mandatory, minimum federal nurse-to-patient ratios
- Preventing workplace violence in health care facilities
- Protecting VA nurses and patients
- Guaranteed health care for all through Medicare for All
- Protecting the right of all workers to organize
- Standing up for all forms of worker, racial, climate, and economic justice in the
name of public health.
Champion nurses’ values and stand up for our patients and our communities. Become a monthly contributor to the fund for a Healthy America today.
