The quote below from their web site gives a sense of the kind of support they are attracting. I am most interested in the involvement of the National Nurses United who have been standing with not only nurses but all those suffering now in our country due to a strained and unjust economy. "Where does it hurt?" the nurses have asked. In this case, they are asking the unemployed and the under-employed to voice their hurts and frustrations.
Those who wish to do so, may use the comment button below to tell of their plight for an international audience.
In the meantime, I stand in solidarity with the Occupiers in Chicago. Chicago is my kind of town!
In addition, we are joining National Nurses United to picket the mayor’s office at 10 a.m. Monday (10/24), at City Hall at the LaSalle entrance. Nurse leaders of NNU who set up a nurses’ station to provide basic first aid to Chicago protesters – as NNU has done peacefully in five other cities across the U.S. – were among [some of] those arrested. We appreciate their service to this movement and stand in solidarity for everyone’s right to practice free speech.
