1199SEIU Nurses Show Support For Reproductive Rights, Amendment 4
May 9, 2024
Wearing purple “Standing Up For Reproductive Freedom” shirts, 1199SEIU Florida nurses were among more than 150 from our union in Orlando’s Lake Eola Park for the Amendment 4 campaign kickoff rally organized by Floridians Protecting Freedom.
The initiative on the November 2024 ballot is an amendment to the State of Florida Constitution and would reverse Florida’s new extreme six-week abortion ban that puts women’s health at risk and interferes with private medical decisions.
Speakers at the rally described heartbreaking real-life medical and personal trauma they have experienced and desperately urged the large crowd to do all they can to pass Amendment 4.
Nurses are especially aware of the medical tragedies that can occur without access to safe, legal reproductive care.
The high-energy rally concluded with the crowd marching on the walkway that circles Lake Eola, chanting “Yes on 4, Yes on 4.”
