We engage with nurses, nursing organizations, and nursing schools in Oregon. Our main goal is to educate nurses about a single-payer, universal, publicly funded healthcare so that nurses engage nurses and the community in the movement to make it a reality.  Currently, most of our activities are centered around the Portland metropolitan area.

Our activities include:

• Formal presentations at schools of nursing and professional organizations;
• Informational tabling;
• Lobbying at the state legislature with testimony;
• House parties;
• Rallies with our giant Big Nurse puppet; pr; co-sponsoring film showings;
• Encouraging nurses to take on leadership within nursing and health care reform organizations;
• Educating ourselves about the role of nurses in the single payer movement in other states;
• Collaborating with our colleagues at Health Care for All Oregon (HCAO)  and Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP).

We know that nurses are strong and respected voices in their communities, and can be effective advocates for a single payer health system.
