(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The September issue of National Nurse -- “The Voice of National Nurses United” -- features cover shot of Metro Council President Jos Williams DCNA’s Sandra Falwell, a DC Registered Nurse and member of the Council’s Executive Board, and Virginia AFL-CIO President Doris Crouse-Mays, with other area activists at the September 1 sit-in in front of Rep. Eric Cantor’s office in Virginia. “More than 10,000 registered nurses across the nation staged 61 actions in 21 states to call for a tax on Wall Street in order to raise revenue for healing Main Street America — National Nurses United’s most ambitious effort at coordinated protests to date and likely the biggest series of events ever hosted by RNs in U.S. history,” according to the magazine’s cover story.
