California Nurses Association

In Sacramento tonight, our message for Sutter Health is clear: Whose side are you on? Will you stand with nurses and protect patients by defending the integrity of our elections?

🗣️ We are the nurses, the mighty mighty nurses. 🪧 Fighting for patients AND our democracy! We won't stand for Trump's escalating attacks on our voting rights. We need free and fair elections so we can take on the billionaire class and improve our patients’ lives.

The Trump administration has crossed countless red lines in their effort to consolidate power and suppress dissent. Nurses will be watching the midterms to make sure he doesn't cross any more. Kaiser: Stand with us and demand a free and fair election!

Central Coast nurses sprang into action today to denounce the presence of ICE around Natividad Medical Center and Watsonville Community Hospital. We are demanding that our employers refuse to cooperate with ICE and that ICE gets out of our communities for good!

California nurses are taking action to defend our democracy and protect our voices, starting with a special visit to Prime Healthcare's HQ… (Yes, those are golden toilet seats. And yes, the toilets in Prime CEO Prem Reddy's home really are gold-plated.)

Watsonville and Salinas nurses are holding an emergency press conference today. We’ve seen ICE vehicles and at least one arrest in the last 24 hours. Hospitals are places of healing, not hunting grounds. We’re saying: ICE out of our hospitals! https://bit.ly/4zP6174

Organizing to have a strong union goes beyond our hospital walls. Nurses are signing the Red Line Pledge to stand together and take action when anyone comes for our patients, our communities, or our votes. ✊

An A.I. machine that scores experienced nurses on their tone of voice doesn't improve patient care! It only lines tech execs' pockets. 😡 Union nurses won’t allow the increased monitoring and surveillance brought by A.I. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca7ufSI1Qxg

It’s no surprise that Trump is ramping up the use of his paramilitary forces leading up to the election. He wants to intimidate voters, but it won’t work. Our voices will not be silenced: VOTE on or before Nov. 3! https://www.commondreams.org/news/california-ice-surge-elections

Read California nurses' voter guide before you fill out your ballot. Nurses have a vision for a healthy society for our patients and our communities. 🗳️❤️ See our full list of endorsements: https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/california-endorsements

ICYMI: Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1979 into law, ensuring our greedy employers and their tech billionaire friends cannot use A.I. to replace the clinical judgment of licensed health care professionals. This is a huge win for safe care. 👏 👏 👏

🚨 Nurses at Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, CA have filed to unionize with CNA/NNOC! They join nurses in three other states standing up to a profit-driven health care system to fight for a voice in patient care and a better workplace. ✊ www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/rns-in...

🎉 CNA/NNOC welcomes our new RN presidents: Michelle Gutierrez Vo, Marissa Lee, Sandy Reding, and Dolores Trujillo! www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/cnanno...

Nurses > A.I. 👏👏👏 This victory was powered by union nurse activism: Organizing, testifying before committees, rallying at the Capitol, sharing our stories, and calling legislators across the state. Thank you! YOU are what democracy looks like.

We can't make this stuff up. As if we needed more proof that nurses' judgment is better than Prime CEO Prem Reddy's. Our communities deserve better.

Nurses showed up in Bakersfield this week! Standing with Bernie Sanders and Randy Villegas to fight for patients, safe staffing, and health care as a human right.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 More than 1,000 California union nurses just won a massive victory against Kaiser's wage theft. The violations date back to at least 2021, and the payout could total tens of millions of dollars. When we fight, we win!

Nurses are celebrating @governor.ca.gov signing our landmark A.I. bill, AB 1979, into law! But refusing to also sign AB 2575 fails us. Nurses must have the protection to use our clinical judgement to override unsafe A.I. bit.ly/3TbRtPm

Thousands of nurses and taking over the streets of San Francisco and marching on ICE's detention center to protest Palantir tech in our communities and to demand our public resources go toward the benefit of working people.

CNA President Cathy Kennedy, RN calls for union nurses to take a bold stance in the fight against the current fascist takeover. We're excited to move forward, grow our numbers, and increase our militancy to new heights!

Nurse leaders gathered in San Francisco tonight to kickoff our vision for a healthy society and refuel our solidarity for the work ahead. We will always stand on the side of our patients!

Prime Healthcare has a decades-long pattern of breaking the law and cutting services. Nurses are organizing to hold them accountable. Share your Prime Health patient story with us! https://act.nnu.org/survey/prime-share-your-story/?source=linktree

Palantir helps ICE target, track, and detain our neighbors. This tech has no place in our communities. On Sept. 30, we’re marching to San Francisco’s ICE detention center and saying: Patients over Palantir!

Nurses rallied early outside of Tri-City to demand accountability for Sharp Healthcare's broken promises! The short-staffing AND increased patient loads are untenable for workers and our patients.

Bay Area nurses turned out in support of our former colleague Maureen Wanjiru Ngure, RN. She was abducted by ICE and is being held in a detention facility in Louisiana. 😡 We’re marching and making calls to #FreeMaureen. ✊

Happening now 🚨 RNs from Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health — two of the Bay Area's biggest hospital systems — are rallying together in Oakland because we know solidarity wins contracts!

Prime Healthcare endangers patients and nurses by putting profits above all else. California nurses at Prime facilities on sympathy strike today were out to send a message: Prime's unjust retaliation against patient advocates will not be tolerated!

‼️Prime Healthcare has suspended or fired dozens of nurses ‼️ all for speaking up for our patients. Redding and Anaheim nurses are on sympathy strike today and standing with our colleagues. Our message to Prime: Reinstate the fired and suspended nurses and stop the retaliation!

Nurses across the country are rising up systemwide against Prime Healthcare because Prime endangers patients and nurses by putting profits above all else.

Prime Healthcare's CEO, Prem Reddy, has no problem saying the quiet part out loud. This kind of profit-first mentality is responsible for unsafe staffing, missed breaks, and patients waiting too long for the care they need. Union nurses will not remain silent.

When Kaiser refuses to reinvest profits back into its hospitals, patient care suffers. Standing together is the best way that we can protect our licenses and make sure our patients get the care they deserve.

RNs canvassed the Brentwood & Laguna Beach neighborhoods where Prime Healthcare CEO Prem Reddy has homes. We're making sure neighbors know who they're living next to: A man who sees health care as a commodity, patients as profit centers, & retaliates against RNs who speak out.

Santa Clara River Valley nurses took action this week in response to Ventura County’s decision to strip our community from emergency and acute care services. Nurses demand equal care and access for all our patients!

Corporate medicine wants machines to overrule nurses, but we refused to take that lying down. Nurses fought to pass A.B. 1979 and A.B. 2575 — the strongest A.I. protections in the country! Governor Newsom: Sign these bills by Sept. 30! https://bit.ly/4xR56Cx

Billionaires and millionaires did not give us the right to organize, the 8‑hour work day, a 40‑hour work week, child labor laws, or a minimum wage. Workers did that! This Labor Day, we honor the victories that built our country and the fights that are still being waged. ✊

In 2024, @_PrimeHealth made more than $4 billion in revenue. Shasta Regional Medical Center nurses are on strike because we know they can afford to invest in patient safety!

Redding nurses are on strike for better patient care at Prime Health’s Shasta Regional Medical Center. Over 2,200 Prime Healthcare nurses and health care workers across three states are striking today for a fair contract and safe patient care! #RNStrike

🎶 Hey hey, ho ho, Prime Health's greed has got to go! 🎶 Nurses in Redding and Anaheim are up early this morning to strike AGAINST corporate greed and FOR patient safety!

Kaiser rakes in billions of dollars. As union nurses, we’re here to make sure patients get the care they deserve.

Kaiser is constantly trying to cut staff and threatens to implement untested, unregulated A.I. in our facility. That’s unacceptable for us as nurses, and it endangers our patients and their care. Roseville nurses are sounding the alarm on Kaiser. #PatientsNotProfits

Nurses joined the picket line today outside of Kaiser’s LAMC, Oakland, and San Francisco hospitals to make sure Kaiser understands we mean business. Kaiser makes billions. We know they can afford a contract that puts patients first!

We're‼️25,000‼️ strong at Kaiser facilities across the state and we're gearing up to make sure management knows what kind of power that holds. We're taking action at 22 facilities on Sept. 1 to demand high-quality patient care. 💪 https://bit.ly/4gqIMcJ

Watsonville Community Hospital nurses will rally to save the NICU on Monday! We're demanding the hospital administration and Hospital Board reverse this decision, invest in staffing, and immediately reopen our NICU! https://bit.ly/4cQTU07

From Palo Alto to Los Angeles, hundreds of RNs, patients, and community allies mobilized to condemn Palantir's role supporting ICE kidnappings and imprisonment. Our demand is clear: Hospitals and elected officials must immediately cut ties with the A.I. giant!

Palantir's A.I.-powered surveillance and data analysis fuels ICE murders, mass deportation & detention, and illegal wars and genocide abroad. Nurses mobilized in L.A. outside of Thiel Capital to shine a light on these horrors. This kind of evil has no place in our communities!

At CommonSpirit facilities across CA, management is trying to justify layoffs of critical support staff as "efficiency." But nurses at St. Joseph rallied today to expose the truth: It’s corporate greed dressed up as a budget decision, and it puts patients at a huge safety risk!

Happening Thursday: The largest coordinated, national actions our nurses and allies have organized to date against Palantir. 👀 Join us in L.A. or Palo Alto to get Palantir out of hospitals and out of our society! nnu.org/Palantir-Out-DOA

Nurses are already being asked to do more and more with fewer resources so that executives can keep their bonuses. The nurses at Glendale Memorial Hospital are demanding CommonSpirit management put patients before profits and rescind the layoffs or critical support staff!

Perfect example of execs cutting staff to turn a profit while our patients suffer: CommonSpirit is laying off critical support staff at St. Joseph's Medical Center. When we asked who would cover the work, management said "the nurses will do it." 😡 bit.ly/4hMWQyd
