As nurses and their supporters, we urge the public to make immediate and sustained efforts to resist the Trump Administration’s agenda to destroy global health. We have devoted our professional lives to improving public health, and we have an ethical obligation to speak out when we see threats to that goal. Therefore, we must strongly oppose the current federal government’s efforts to undermine and even destroy our work.

We object to the destruction of civil society, the assaults on science and the environment, and the terrorizing of vulnerable groups through a culture of bullying and cruelty that has no place in a decent world.
We object to direct threats to the nursing profession. These include plans to undermine the already desperate position of nurses in clinical practice through funding cuts and the violation of labor rights. We object to reported plans to eliminate funding for nursing research, including for the already starving National Institute for Nursing Research.
We also reject the broader efforts to tear apart networks of health and social wellbeing, both within the United States and worldwide. Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security have lifted generations out of poverty and saved countless lives. It is vital that these programs receive full funding. Indeed, Social Security could easily thrive by lifting the income cap on contributions. And a full range of other health and social programs must receive full funding, from those that address addiction and mental health to those that provide housing, food, and accurate health information.
Global health programs must receive full funding, including funding given through the World Health Organization and USAID, which prevents millions from dying of diseases like malaria, AIDS, and the next pandemic.

It is vital that we stop regulatory changes that will accelerate the degradation of our planet, worsening climate change, and that we continue to protect the safety of our food and water.
It is vital that government health institutions be led by qualified health professionals who are committed to science and public health, not by those who recklessly traffic in disinformation—spreading disease and worsening public health.
And it is vital to end government attacks on vulnerable populations, especially immigrants, children, and the LGBTQ+ community. We must protect civilians, both nationally and internationally, from violence, terrorists, and school shooters. We should work for peace everywhere.
These threats imperil our health today and in the future. And there is no justification for them. The United States is the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world. We can share some soup.

The dismantling of society happens piece by piece, so each of us must resist when tyranny knocks at our door—including our neighbor’s door. Do not “obey in advance” by discriminating against the vulnerable and undermining their health and safety. Stand strong when ICE comes. Do what you can to keep them out of schools and healthcare facilities.
We urge everyone in the entire world to work against the anti-health agenda of the Trump Administration, which threatens billions of lives. Speak out. Protest. If you or someone you know has been directly affected by the above policies, share that story widely. Make daily calls to Congress, which has the power to stop this devastating reversal of public health progress.
Be strong. Be courageous. Protect the vulnerable, for they are first, and you are next.

I have been against what Trump and this administration have been doing and what they represent for a long time! As an old woman(87 yo) and as a licensed nurse for 65 years, I have felt helpless and hopeless.
I am glad to lend my voice and signature to register my concern and opposition to what is happening.Thank you for putting this statement together for the nursing profession.

Not all nurses agree with this group or statements made by them. There are many abuses in Medicaid and USAID. I’m an RN and am totally for many of these cuts
Abuse is found in EVERY large scale program and not just programs within the federal government. No conceived program is immune to some people wanting and plotting to take undue advantage of it. The key is not to abolish or ruin programs for which the majority of recipients are deserving and follow the rules but to route out those that abuse. When one starts with disintegrating and firing w/o cause those inspector generals and others in similar roles whose job it is to find and take abusers to court, then the true purpose of the administration’s action is questionable.
