Turnout Urged for Patient Protection Act Hearing Friday
Wednesday, November 6, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
A
months-long
campaign has finally resulted in a DC City
Council hearing being scheduled on
the Patient Protection Act on November 8.
“This occurred only because of
the relentless campaign by nurses and the 40
community, religious, and labor
groups that have endorsed this vital piece of
legislation,” says NNU
Political Organizer
Francesca Lo Basso. NNU is urging supporters to
turn out for the hearing -- 11am
this Friday in Room 500 of the Wilson
Building – to “show Councilwoman
Alexander that your organization stands with
nurses and patients… a crucial
step in demonstrating the widespread community
support for the Patient
Protection Act and for improved patient safety
in the District of Columbia.”
