Four ways to support striking nurses

Interested in supporting the nurses on strike against Allina Health? Here are four ways you can take action:

• Join nurses on the picket lines. Sign up for a shift at allinastrike.com.
• Donate to the nurses’ strike fund. Allina has already spent more fighting nurses than the $10 million it’s seeking to save annually by eliminating their insurance. To stand up to Allina and stay on the picket lines, nurses and their families will need financial support. Donate at mnnurses.org/donatestrikefund.
• Send food, drink and other necessities to the picket lines. MNA’s point person coordinating food donations during the strike is Geri Katz. Contact her at 651-252-5510 to direct your contribution where it’s needed most.
• Use social media to call out Allina. Take action online by tagging Allina at @allinahealth and using the hashtags #MN4RNs, #nursesneedcare2, #allinacuts and #1u.
