#NursesVote 2020 - Where Nurses make their Voice Heard

The American Nurses Association's new and improved #NursesVote website. Last year we saw an incredible number of nurses, like you, engage with our #NursesVote Action Center to ensure you had all the information you needed to cast your vote. We were thrilled to see so many of you proudly displayed your "Registered Nurse, Registered Voter" button at your polling place and on social media.

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

As you'll see, 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.

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

Thank you for all that you do! I look forward to hearing how our new website helps you further your advocacy between now and next November.

Sincerely yours,
President Ernest Grant, PhD, RN, FAAN
American Nurses Association

P.S. Those nurse-advocates who have signed up for our text message and email alerts got to see the website early – text ANA to 52886, join the community, and make sure you're on the list that gets you the latest updates before anyone else. Your advocacy matters – at the bedside and beyond.
