DESCRIPTION:Join RNs in protest against Kaiser Permanente's decision to suspend some 
 gender-affirming care.\n\nWho: Kaiser nurses\n\nWhat: Vigil for 
 gender-affirming care\n\nWhen: Friday, July 25, 4 p.m.\n\nWhere: 2425 Geary 
 Blvd. (front of the hospital), San Francisco, Calif.\n\n\nCALL TO ACTION 
 STATEMENT BY NATIONAL NURSES UNITED:\n\nRegistered nurses from Kaiser 
 Permanente facilities will hold a vigil at 4 p.m. tomorrow, July 25, in San 
 Francisco, Calif., to honor transgender patients being impacted by 
 Kaiser’s newly announced suspension of some gender-affirming care. Kaiser 
 RNs are represented by California Nurses Association/National Nurses United 
 (CNA/NNU).\n\nNurses say the recent decision from Kaiser to suspend some 
 forms of gender-affirming care for those under 19 will impact their 
 patients, but nurses remain committed to advocating on behalf of every 
 patient who needs their care.\n\n“Kaiser’s own foundation has put out 
 research on the efficacy of this care. The evidence is there that this care 
 is safe and effective,” said Sydney Simpson, RN in interventional 
 radiology at Kaiser San Francisco. “What’s unsafe and ineffective is 
 caving to political pressure that puts our patients at risk. We won’t 
 stand for it, and it’s why we’re taking action together.”\n\nCNA 
 represents nearly 25,000 registered nurses at Kaiser facilities and is an 
 affiliate of NNU, the country’s largest nurses union.\n\nCalifornia 
 Nurses Association/National Nurses United is the largest and 
 fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in 
 the nation with more than 100,000 members in more than 200 facilities 
 throughout California and more than 225,000 RNs nationwide.\n
