[Antiracism] [Workers' Rights] Win the Patient Safety Act!

[WMass Jobs With Justice]

From: Diane Scherrer [mailto:dscherrer at mnarn.org] 



The hospital industry at great expense is mailing out letters with
postage-paid postcards that oppose The Patient
<http://www.protectmasspatients.org/>  Safety Act.

Several MNA members have asked about forwarding the letter to the editor
from the California nurse to the Western Mass Senators and have requested
the senators' emails. I have listed the senators' emails below. 

Along with the LTE attached, I have attached a document of letters from
California Senators in support of the legislation stating how it is working
in California. The MNA delivered these letters to the senators last week. 

Please email your senator with your name and address. The weight of your
message comes from being a constituent who votes!!

To find out who your State Senator is or for more information, go to

"Without good and careful nursing many must suffer greatly, and probably
perish, that might have been restored to health and comfort, and become
useful to themselves, their families, and the public, for many years after."
~Benjamin Franklin (1751)
