Demand Congress Reinstate the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to Protect Workers

Sign the petition to join nurses in demanding Congress and the current administration protect workers and our communities by reinstating NIOSH.

The current administration has effectively shut down a small but critical federal agency that helps protect the lives of millions of workers across the country.

NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, has been a lifeline for workers for more than 50 years. Among many other vital services, NIOSH inspects and certifies respirators like N95s and other personal protective equipment that has saved the lives of countless frontline health care workers – especially at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nurses continue to rely on this expertise to protect us and our patients from infectious diseases every day.

These cuts are extremely dangerous. Without these workplace safety protections, the lives of health care workers and all workers who rely on respiratory protections are at risk.

Tell Congress: Save the USPS

The White House and its corporate allies want to privatize the Post Office. Email your members of Congress and urge them to cosponsor H. Res. 70 and S. Res. 147 to stand with the Postal Service and its dedicated workforce against the threat of privatization.

The USPS belongs to the people, and they deserve a Postal Service that remains true to its public mission to serve every community across the country. Any efforts to sell off the Postal Service, in whole or in part, or to strip it of its independence or public service mission would drive up prices and lead to reduced service.
