About Us

Nurses for America (NFA) is a grassroots organization of nurses that educates nurses, healthcare professionals, and policymakers about issues affecting the health and well-being of patients, families, communities, and the public. Nurses for America engages nurses in helping to elect candidates who share nursing values, will refute disinformation, and will act to support public policy including:

• Providing comprehensive, quality, accessible and affordable healthcare for all residents of our country.
• Protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.
• Restoring, protecting, and expanding reproductive health care.
• Advancing efforts to reduce pharmaceutical costs.
• Supporting evidence-based environmental health and safety. 
• Expanding gun violence protection.
• Maintaining and enhancing international health programs.
• Protecting Social Security, veterans’ healthcare, and other economic security programs. 
• Advocating for voting rights, human rights, and equality. 

We believe that nurses deserve an approach that honors their values and centers their voices. Advocacy must reflect the compassion, integrity, and courage that define our profession—not compromise them. Rather than being silent to appear neutral, we believe in boldly standing for what matters most to nurses: equitable access to care, safe workplaces, a healthy environment, and a commitment to justice. True advocacy doesn’t simply secure a seat at the table; it challenges the system to align with the principles of nursing—caring for all, especially the most vulnerable. By staying rooted in these values, we can lead meaningful change and build a future where nurses’ sacrifices are honored, their needs prioritized, and their voices lead the way.
