Austin: NNU Candlelight Vigil for Alex Pretti

It’s happened. Federal immigration agents have murdered one of our own, ICU registered nurse Alex Pretti, a member of AFGE, who saved veterans’ lives at the Minneapolis VA. Pretti upheld his oath to advocate for and protect his patients and community to the very end as a peaceful, public legal observer of ICE atrocities.

Join National Nurses United RN members in a week-long series of actions to honor Pretti and all who have been murdered by ICE, as well as demand that Congress vote to immediately abolish this violent, racist, and lawless agency that poses a dire public health threat to all of our communities.

Pretti’s death will not be in vain. ICE messed with the wrong profession. We nurses will fight to abolish ICE and bring about a vision for a healthy society based on nurses’ values of caring, compassion, and community.
