Support the Providence Strike Relief Fund

More than 3,000 nurses at six Providence hospitals are going on strike! This includes nurses from Providence St. Vincent, Providence Milwaukie, Providence Hood River, Providence Medford, Providence Willamette Falls, and Providence Newberg.

Nurses voted overwhelmingly to go on strike as a result of blatant violations of the Safe Staffing Law, multiple unfair labor practices, and devastating failures on the part of Providence management to recruit, retain and respect frontline health care workers.

The three-day strike will begin on June 18, 2024, and we need your support!

Funds generated via the Providence Strike Relief Fund will be used to cover general expenses associated with supporting health care workers and our allies on the picket line. That includes, but is not limited to:

Emergency funding for member needs (including financial assistance) through ONA’s strike fund.

Food delivery

Beverage delivery

Transportation to and from the picket line.

Childcare costs for members and their families walking the line.

Picket line equipment (picket signs, bullhorns, strike captain vests, etc.).

Public awareness efforts such as advertising, social media ads, and other outreach actions.

(While we are grateful for community support and support from our labor siblings, ONA will not accept donations from employers, employer-sided labor advisers or consultants, or from anyone who is an agent of an employer or who is acting in the interest of an employer.)

Please note: Donations to the Providence Strike Relief Fund are not tax deductible and excess funds will be reserved for future member needs via the ONA strike fund.
