The Power of Nurses: Advocating for Change in Our Communities

As nurses, our duty extends beyond patient care to advocating for our communities. In recent years, societal challenges have pushed us to innovate, bringing hope and identifying societal needs. How can we effect change? By recognizing the power of our voice—and our vote.

Your participation in democracy matters. Every aspect of our lives—from hospital operations to funding allocations for healthcare programs—is influenced by government decisions. As a nurse, you're not just a voting citizen; you're an expert with evidence-based understanding of patient and community needs.

We're at a crucial juncture in this election year. Checking your voting status is simple at www.vote.org. Use your voice and expertise on November 5th to shape the future you envision. If you seek change from the past decade's trajectory, take control through your vote.

Nurses are far more than "bedside caregivers"—we're leaders, advocates, and change-makers. As the largest health profession in the country, our collective voice can:

1. Strengthen democracy

2. Improve healthcare systems

3. Foster civility and progress

By uniting and voting for our shared vision, we can create a better tomorrow. Our profession's size and expertise give us the power to drive meaningful change. Let's use our votes to ensure a healthcare system and society that truly serves all.

Remember: Your voice, your vote, your expertise— all matter. Join us in shaping a brighter, healthier future for our patients, our communities, and our nation.
