The Maryland General Assembly last month issued an official citation to National Nurses United for "leadership and dedication to promoting tolerance and understanding" after the union united with local religious and community leaders to host a well-attended Bethesda rally challenging white supremacy in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville (Love Over Hate: Labor Joins Religious And Community Allies At Rally Against White Supremacy). NNU thanked Maryland Delegate Jeff Waldstreicher (D, MD 18) "for recognizing the work of nurses in our community," noting that "registered nurses are proud to work for a more inclusive, caring, and open nation and are dedicated to ending the deadly diseases of racism, bigotry, and white supremacy."
