The NNU suggests a “Main Street Contract for the American People”


An open-air soup kitchen staffed by registered nurses in bright red union t-shirts feeding a line of hungry San Franciscans assembled midday outside a busy U.S. Federal Building is not something you see every day and it caused lots of heads to turn.

It was intended to make a point, one also emphatically made at protest rallies outside 60 other legislative offices in 21 states attended by thousands of nurses and community friends.

National Nurses United (NNU) selected the offices of major federal legislators to announce loud and clear: Our Communities are Hurting; Tax Wall Street to Rebuild Main Street.

This project is another bold political step for the politically active and growing NNU, now the largest nurses’ organization in the country’s history.
