Stop the noise

Have you heard from nursing lately? How do we, as one of the largest labor forces, lose our voice?

You haven’t heard much from us as a group. Not much has been said. Because the loud makes right crowd are shouting us down and taking all the oxygen in the room.

But we have to realize as a group, we are bigger than them. And what we have to say matters just as much as what the loud makes right group has to say.

The different people in the group have different voices, true. But speaking together we can drown out the anti-science noise that is going on.

Or the anti-woman noise.

Or the anti- this is confusing to me and therefore I am scared so I shout louder noise.

Or the anti-I don’t like this choice so you can’t have this choice noise.

Or the anti-I don’t like this book so you can’t read this book noise.

Definitely the anti-abortion noise.

But people are beginning to understand the effects of all this noise has on people.

Women are dying.

LGBTQ+ people are dying.

People who just want to live life the way they choose are being impacted.

Books are not dying but personal choice to read what you want is being impacted.

Again, women are dying. Especially black women who are just trying to give birth and survive to raise their children.

Babies who cannot survive out of the womb are being tortured and then dying.

Shhhh.

Stop the noise.

Let people live.
