Sandy Eaton, RN on struggles in Massachusetts to create a just healthcare system
Center for Marxist Education, April 13, 2015
Passing a law is never enough. From patient safety tweaks to major overhauls, corporations quickly game the system to get their way. What then must we do?

The last public meeting on the fate of the Roxbury Comprehensive Community Health Center took place on-site there on October 29th. Besides a presentation by the leading contender for the property, Bridge Boston Charter School, many former workers came to bring forward their just demands for back pay. Nothing could or would be done about that until the sale went through, and then they were in line with other creditors.

Shrinking Access to Needed Services
Thank you for coming to Braintree and the South Shore to listen to our many burning issues. Here's my thinking on steps needed to reform our essentially dysfunctional healthcare system in Massachusetts, highlighting six pieces of legislation already filed and awaiting bill numbers, and indicating additional areas in need of attention.
The recent closing of Quincy Medical Center by Steward Health Care, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cerberus Capital Management, throws the cracks in our system into stark relief.

Letter to Boston Mayor Marty Walsh from Coalition to Stop the BU Bioterror Lab

Mayor Martin J. Walsh
One City Hall Square
Suite 500
Boston MA 02201-2013
Dear Mayor Walsh:
We, the undersigned advocates, scientists, environmental justice organizations, civil rights lawyers, religious associations, community activists, union members, organized nurses and city residents, are firmly opposed to the operation of a BSL 4 laboratory in the City of Boston. The risks involved in the manipulation of highly deadly pathogens are unacceptable. The risks far outweigh any possible benefits.

Stop the Biolab Coalition Meets with Mayor Walsh
Focus on the Future
Submitted by seachange on Mon, 2014-07-14 15:37.This is a good time to review the principles upon which our nurses' movement was founded. Forged in the fights to get away from the American Nurses Association (ANA) and then to build a progressive national voice for nurses, these statements of principle can be reread here, appended to the presentation Quest for a Voice from the 2008 pre-convention program of the Massachusetts Nurses Association. Primary importance has always been given to winning enforceable RN staffing limits and then to creating a just healthcare system. To these ends, we built first the American Association of Registered Nurses (AARN) and then the National Nurses United (NNU).
