The American Nurses Association recently launched its new and improved #NursesVote website. Thousands of nurses engaged with ANA’s #NursesVote Action Center in 2018, ensuring that they had all the information nurse advocates need to cast their vote and make their voices heard

With ANA’s recent decision at its 2019 Membership Assembly to move away from endorsing a candidate in the presidential election, nurse-advocates can utilize the new website to get out the vote, educate themselves on how each presidential candidate has worked to advance the nursing profession, and volunteer and advocate for the candidate of their choice. ANA highly encourages all nurse-advocates to become politically engaged at all levels of government.  

As #NursesVote makes clear, every candidate hoping to be on the ballot next November understands and values the importance of nurses to the American healthcare system. ANA is heartened to know it will have a partner to work with in the White House regardless of this election’s outcome.

Also included are sections on the most pressing federal advocacy priorities impacting nursing, as well as a newly released comprehensive guide for those looking to engage with the presidential campaigns – as a volunteer or simply as a concerned citizen and nurse-advocate.

We look forward to hearing how the new website helps members and nurses everywhere further their advocacy between now and next November.
