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.”
