March For Our Patients

Bring safe and compassionate staffing levels to our nursing homes!

On May 1, International Workers’ Day, nursing home workers from every corner of New Jersey will march and rally in our state capital. We will be calling on legislators to pass a bill to improve staffing levels in nursing homes.

THE TIME IS NOW TO END THE STAFFING CRISIS. THIS IS OUR CHANCE!

Nursing home workers need safe workloads, because our residents depend on us, every single day!

WE WILL MARCH, RAIN OR SHINE!
