Mail in your absentee ballot request form ASAP!
We are fortunate that we don’t have to fight for statewide mail in ballots like some states have had to do in the past months. Absentee Ballot Requests (ABRs) are hitting your mailbox right now.
Thank you to @SenSanders, @RepJayapal and @RepKarenBass for your leadership in being chief sponsors of the Health Care Emergency Guarantee Act. This is what we need to take care of the tens of millions of people with no insurance during this pandemic.
#IowaNurses, patients, and our communities call on Sen. @ChuckGrassley and @SenJoniErnst to step up for public health and our safety by voting for, and pushing for a Senate vote, on the #HEROESACT. Our lives depend on it!
Nurses are back at the White House at the start of Nurses Week to protest Trump’s abhorrent failure to protect nurses and other health care workers. There are 88 pairs of shoes for every nurse in the US whose name we know who has died of covid-19. Presente! @NationalNurses
The @IowaSOS is sending all registered Iowans an absentee ballot request (ABR) form next week.
The ABR can be filled out and mailed at no cost to the voter. A ballot will then be sent to the voter by the Election Office. The completed ballot will be sent back at no charge.
Friday night we're taking time to celebrate how our members showed up in April to help build people-power and relationships amid Covid-19. Tune in to hear music and short updates from our talented members.

#COVID19 is exacerbating existing crises in our health care system.
An NNU VA nurse tells @GQMagazine how her facility was already fighting back attempts to privatize the VA through short-staffing. Now, with COVID-19, the patient "load is unbearable."

This virus is teaching us that from now on, living wages, guaranteed health care for all, unemployment & labor rights are not far left issues, but issues of right vs wrong & life vs death.
Nurses are not getting the protections they desperately need to fight #COVID19. @NationalNurses is demanding Congress act now. Add your name: https://t.co/BSRsMzsKIj
