Nurses and health care workers need your help

Nurses and health care workers continue to answer the call caring for the sick and our loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every day, our healthcare heroes including members of the Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, AFT and SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin are on the front lines risking their own health and safety to beat this deadly virus.

Unfortunately, Scott Fitzgerald and Robin Vos are standing in the way of respecting nurses and health care workers by refusing to take up and pass a critical piece of legislation called “The Healthcare Heroes Act.”

Click here to send an email to Scott Fitzgerald and Robin Vos to demand they do their jobs to protect and respect healthcare workers.

Working people are coming together to demand action and as of right now, Senator Fitzgerald and Speaker Vos have received a landslide of emails and phone calls urging them to support healthcare workers. Join the efforts, call on Senator Fitzgerald and Robin Vos to:

• convene the legislature in an extraordinary session,
• call a vote on the Healthcare Heroes Act, and
• pass the Healthcare Heroes Act bill that would finally give healthcare workers the respect and protection they deserve.

Nurses, housekeepers, nursing assistants, lab techs, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals are hard at work each and every day, around the clock working to heal patients and keep us all safe.

Protecting healthcare workers during a global health crisis should not be a partisan issue.

Tell the Majority Leaders to show up for our healthcare heroes. Our health depends on theirs, after all.
