Stand with UMC Nurses Fighting for a First Contract!

Donation protected
Support Our City's Caretakers

Nurses care for us, our families, our neighbors, and our community. Your donation today provides care for a nurse here in New Orleans.

University Medical Center is New Orleans' downtown hospital. In 2023, UMC nurses established a historic union, winning their election by an overwhelming 82%.

For more than two years, union nurses at UMC have been working for a contract that keeps patients safe by creating better working conditions for nursing staff.

Security and safety measures inside the building, protecting both staff and members of the public when they visit UMC.

Staffing that allows patients to receive the individualized attention they need when receiving medical care.

Fair pay that reflects nurses' training and experience, and that compensates them for working in the challenging conditions of a hospital- all of which leads to more experienced nurses providing care in our community.

The Nurses Support Fund provides emergency relief to nurses- our city's caretakers- and helps them continue advocating for a fair first contract that improves their working conditions and our patient care conditions.

It also supports the community outreach that union nurses and their allies lead across New Orleans.

Your donation helps a nurse in our community, and creates a safer, healthier New Orleans!
