Political Action

NYSNA advocates for laws that set safe staffing levels, protect nursing and our patients, and guarantee healthcare for all. The future of New York healthcare is at stake.

We know from experience that when nurses speak, the public, press and lawmakers listen. Find your elected officials here. Below are tools to inform and empower you to make a difference.

Safe Staffing

Safe, quality care depends on enough nurses and frontline caregivers to do the job. That’s why NYSNA fights for safe staffing on every unit, in every healthcare facility in the state. By uniting and organizing together, NYSNA nurses have won serious improvements to staffing through our contracts and the law. Safe staffing saves lives.

NYSNA nurses make our voices heard in Albany to protect our patients and our practice.
