DESCRIPTION:Racism is a healthcare crisis, but it is also an issue of human rights. As 
 a nurse and an indigenous Mapuche woman I stand against the systemic racism 
 that has been a pandemic in the black community. As union nurses we feel 
 your pain, we hear your voice and we stand with you. BLACK LIVES 
 MATTER!"\nRosa Villarroel, RN, CNA Chief Nurse Representative UCSF 
 Mission-Bay\n\nJoin fellow UCSF nurses and frontline workers for an action, 
 including a 'die-in,' to peacefully protest the lack of police 
 accountability and demand justice for our Black, Native American, and 
 Latinx communities and an end to the systematic racism that is at the heart 
 of much of the current crisis.\n\nWhere: UCSF Medical Center at Mission 
 Bay, 1825 4th St, San Francisco, CA 94158 (in front of the Adult Hospital 
 Entrance)\n\nWhen: 12:30pm to 1pm PT June 13, 2020 \n\n“Nurses know that 
 racism is a public health crisis, whether in societal practices that have 
 contributed to the disproportionate COVID-19 deaths of African Americans or 
 the deaths of African Americas at the hands of police. It is incumbent on 
 all of us to work for systemic change.”\nCNA/ NNU President Jean Ross, 
 RN, a Minnesota resident\n\nAt our national convention in 2018, CNA/ NNU 
 members cited “the pervasive problems of racial, economic, and social 
 injustice that have so stained our nation and undermined the promise of 
 democracy” and re-emphasized that “as nurses, we are dedicated to 
 prevent all forms of illness, protect health, and alleviate human 
 suffering.”\n\nOur Union passed a resolution that pledged NNU to continue 
 to champion “patient advocacy beyond the bedside” by partnering with 
 organizations and communities of color as part of our work to build a wider 
 movement that will fight for a society that cherishes and celebrates our 
 rich diversity.”\n\n“We stand with the Movement for Black Lives Matter 
 in the struggle for racial justice, police brutality in black communities 
 must cease immediately. Nurses are committed to challenging the systemic 
 racism that is endemic in our country.”\nCNA/ NNU Executive Director 
 Bonnie Castillo, RN\n\n
