SEIU Nurse Alliance Legislative Conference
Honors Nurse Week
California Public Nurses Advocate for Patients, Launch Staffing Study

On May 6 and 7, 2008, SEIU public nurses from around California gathered at the 2008 Nurse Alliance Legislative Conference in Sacramento, California to strategize on how to put nurses at the center of the discussions around the State's health care reform.  Nurses from SEIU Local 221 flew up with Jacob Regalado from our Government and Community Relations Department.  Local 221 members, along with over eighty nurses from five other SEIU locals spent the first day in workshops and the second day educating legislators from both political parties at the Capital about the risk to all Californians from the Governor's proposed budget cuts.

Our next SEIU nurse lobby day will be on Wednesday, June 11th.  Contact your nurse worksite organizer Solita Kampley to find out more and help continue the fight against the Governor’s proposed healthcare budget cuts!  We can make a difference and advocate for safe, accessible quality health care for all.
