It’s unacceptable that one in four nurses has experienced workplace violence. And now, it is our opportunity to do something about it.

Congress just reintroduced legislation that would address violence against nurses, and we need you to raise your voice to move it forward. Share your story now!  The stories are horrifying, and all too common. Every single day, nurses are stabbed, punched, grabbed, kicked, verbally assaulted, or worse. And care settings have become even more risky and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. We refuse to allow these abuses to be part of the reality of what it means to be a nurse. But unless ALL of us speak up for this bill, right now, it will continue. Send your letter today >>

The Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (H.R 1195) is the critical next step. It will require health care and social service industry employers to develop and implement a comprehensive workplace violence prevention plan. It will impact not just nurses but other health care workers who work alongside us. Can you spare one minute to show your support for this bill, and help move it forward?  Nurses belong to the most trusted profession in America, your voices are enormously powerful especially as you continue to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. If we stand together, we CAN pass this important legislation. 

Thanks for helping work toward a future where nurses can safely help others heal.
