National Nurses United Endorses Kamala Harris!

NNU’s Executive Council, elected by national nurse membership, voted to endorse Harris on the heels of Biden's announcement that he would no longer be seeking reelection. According to nurses, reasons for the Harris endorsement include:

Vice President Harris supports working people and families. In her tenure as vice president, Kamala Harris has provided the tie-breaking votes for critical legislation, including the American Rescue Plan, which provided stimulus checks to working people  across America and ensured a comprehensive pandemic response program. She also provided the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which included a landmark victory to reduce the prices of prescription drugs and critical provisions to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Vice President Harris stands up for union workers. Nurses say they are proud to back a candidate who played a critical role in the most pro-labor administration in modern history. She worked to save the pensions of more than 1 million union workers and retirees, has stood in solidarity with striking union workers, and chaired the   White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, which is aimed at helping workers join labor unions and bargain collectively. Vice President Harris has supported the NNU-backed Protecting the Right to Organize Act, a bill to protect workers' rights to organize unions and collectively bargain without fear of retaliation, and the NNU-backed VA Employee Fairness Act, which grants full collective bargaining rights to RNs and other clinicians in the Veterans Health Administration—helping to ensure our nation’s heroes receive the highest quality care.

Vice President Harris is a powerful advocate in key health care fights, including the fight to defend and restore reproductive health rights. Nurses note that Vice President Harris has consistently defended the Affordable Care Act and Medicare from attacks, has supported efforts to reduce medical debt, and has championed the new staffing standards for nursing homes achieved by the Biden-Harris administration. She has also supported the important health and safety regulations issued by the Biden-Harris administration, including a landmark Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) temporary standard mandating optimal Covid protections for health care workers. Harris has toured nationwide in support of reproductive health care rights.

Vice President Harris has a career-long track record of backing legislation to protect patients and nurses. In her time as a U.S. Senator, nurses emphasize Vice President Harris cosponsored NNU-backed health care legislation, including federal safe nurse-to-patient staffing limits, Medicare for All, and a bill to prevent workplace violence in health care settings. As attorney general of California, where NNU represents more than 100,000 RNs, Kamala Harris also stood up for nurses and patients, including backing RNs in their fight to protect the state board of registered nursing from efforts to eliminate it and holding hospital corporations accountable.

United Auto Workers Endorses Kamala Harris!

UAW President Shawn Fain:

“Our job in this election is to defeat Donald Trump and elect Kamala Harris to build on her proven track record of delivering for the working class,” Fain said in a statement. “We can put a billionaire back in office who stands against everything our union stands for, or we can elect Kamala Harris who will stand shoulder to shoulder with us in our war on corporate greed.”

American Federation of Teachers Endorses Kamala Harris!

“Vice President Harris has fought alongside Joe Biden to deliver historic accomplishments and create a better life for all Americans,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten.

“She has a record of fighting for us—fighting to lower the costs we pay, for reproductive rights, for worker empowerment and to keep communities safe from gun violence. As President Biden said in his endorsement of Kamala Harris, she has his full support to be the Democratic nominee for president. And she has the AFT executive council’s support, too.”

« She became a career prosecutor, while he became a career criminal – with 34 felonies, two impeachments, and one porn star to prove it. »

The idea of a childless cat lady is an uninspired dog whistle among others — old maid, crone, witch — that are designed to reduce a woman’s social value to her ability and willingness to reproduce. When Vance says that Harris is one of many childless cat ladies who are miserable and trying to make the rest of the world miserable, he is calling on a set of sexist, racist ideas about which women are even allowed to count as real women. Namely, married mothers are real women, and the rest of us are horrible divergences from the social contract.

If you care at all about marginalized identities you cannot be quiet right now. Project 2025 will happen if trump is reelected, and it will be disastrous. Our identity is being used to fuel a culture war. Our right to happiness has become a political debate. I want to get married one day. I want access to healthcare. I want youth to be taught the truth. I want people of color to be safe. I want to LIVE. One of my friends was stabbed by a bunch of trans and homophobic kids on the way home from school. I've been told that my disability is karma for being queer. You need to wake the fuck up. This may be culture war, but it will still be our lives on the line. If you can vote, fucking do it. We can't sit around waiting for our perfect democratic candidate. We aren't going to get it right now. Pressuring the democrats to make radical change can come after the wood block isn't about to be yanked out from under our feet. Let's get the noose off our necks first.
